ABSTRACT:
An electrostriction motor provided with an oscillator having an electrostriction element bonded to an elastic solid, and a moving solid contacted with the phase boundary of the elastic solid of the oscillator. The electrostriction element is continuously polarized in the moving direction of said moving solid to include a directly-expanded and -contracted pole to which a cycle voltage is applied, and dependently-expanded and -contracted poles which are positioned on right and left sides of the directly-expanded and -contracted pole, and it is also polarized in such a way that the directly-expanded and -contracted pole and one of the dependently-expanded and -contracted poles have the same polarity, while the remaining dependently-expanded and -contracted pole has a polarity different from that of the directly-expanded and -contracted pole. Therefore, the electrostriction motor can be driven by a cycle voltage having a single phase, and its supply power circuit and wiring can be made simpler accordingly.
