    摘要: An ultrasonic motor incomprises a stator including a piezoelectric element and an elastic body capable of producing progressive vibration waves on its drive surface by excitation of the piezoelectric element, and a rotor which is driven by the progressive vibration waves produced and which includes a rotor base member and a slider member bonded to the rotor base member and brought into contact with the drive surface of the elastic body by being pressed against the same. The area of the contact portion of the slider member brought into contact with the elastic body is reduced in comparison with the area of the bonding portion of the slider member bonded to the rotor base member, thereby improving the driving efficiency.

The roller element comprising a first part contacting the at least one driving section of the elastic member and a second part, separate from the first part, contacting the at least one element. In operation, the at least one electro-mechanical converting element vibrates the at least one driving section of the elastic member. The at least one driving section transfers the vibration to the first part of the roller element to rotate the roller element and the least one element is moved by rotation of the second part of the roller element.
