ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic motor which has a viration mode of progressive wave with a large vibrational amplitude of an elastic member and which provides a high torque, comprises: at least one vibrator including a disk-shaped elastic member having a driving force transmitting portion, disk-shaped piezoelectric ceramics attached to both surfaces of the elastic member and a plurality of projections provided on both sides of the driving force transmitting portion; and at least one rotor that is in press contact with the driving force transmitting portion of the vibrator. The thickness of the elastic member at a portion between the piezoelectric ceramics is substantially equal to the thickness thereof at the driving force transmitting portion.
