ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic actuator comprising an elastic vibration member of a rectangular plate is excited by vibrators attached to at broadest excitation surfaces, thereby concurrently inducing longitudinal and bending vibrations. Extraction of vibrational motion from the vibration member being excited to vibrate can be carried out by pressing a moving object against one of the most slender planes perpendicular to the excitation surfaces. Since the length in the direction in which the moving object is pressed against the vibration member is sufficiently larger, the vibrational characteristics of the vibration member can be prevented from being changed, and therefore, the moving object can be driven with high efficiency.
