ABSTRACT:
In a vibration wave motor, a plurality of electrostrictive elements are phase-differentially arranged or polarized on a ring-shaped vibration member having a thickness which increases as it radially goes from a center to an outer circumference, periodic voltages are applied to the electrostrictive elements to generate a travelling vibration wave in the vibration member, and a movable member press-contacted to the vibration member is friction-driven by the travelling vibration wave.
