ABSTRACT:
In an ultrasonic motor having a rotor (6,12) and a vibrating stator (43,49) wherein travelling wave is excited to drive the rotor, the vibrating stator comprises a piezoelectric member (25,26,29,60) and alternately-disposed first segment electrodes and second segment electrodes, the first segment electrodes being connected with each other to form a first intermittent ring or linear electrode train and the second segment electrodes being connected with each other to form a second intermittent ring or linear electrode train, each of the segment electrodes having a length of a quarter of wavelength of the travelling wave in the direction of the travelling wave and being to be polarized in an opposite direction to adjacent electrodes within the same segment electrode.
