ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a driving apparatus for a vibration type actuator device which obtains a driving force by applying a frequency signal to an electro-mechanical energy conversion element.
This invention provides, as the driving apparatus, a vibration type actuator device which changes the frequency of the frequency signal until the driving speed reaches a speed higher than a target speed upon driving control to the target speed, and thereafter, switches the control to the target speed to amplitude control of the frequency signal, so that the driving speed can be quickly changed to the target speed, and the subsequent target speed control can be appropriately performed.
