ABSTRACT:
A vibration wave driven apparatus disclosed in this specification frictionally drives a first member having mounted thereon an elastic member in which a travelling vibration wave is formed and a second member provided with a rail-like stator which is in pressure contact with the elastic member, along the lengthwise direction of the rail-like stator, by the travelling vibration wave formed in the elastic member. Further, the apparatus has a guide member for restraining the degree of freedom in a direction orthogonal to the lengthwise direction, the guide member being comprised of a roller and a guide portion against which the roller bears and which extends along the direction of relative movement.
