ABSTRACT:
A vibration wave motor for generating a travelling vibration wave in a vibration member by applying a periodic voltage to an electro-mechanical energy transducer. An anti-movement device is provided to contact the vibration member at a pitch not equal to a multiple of n.lambda./2, where n is an integer and .lambda. is the wavelength of a vibration wave so that the vibration member is prevented from rotating without reducing the drive efficiency of the motor.
