ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic motor is provided with a circular stator including a piezoelectric element and a comb teeth body and a circular rotor supported by a rotating shaft and disposed in close contact with the comb teeth body. The stator and the rotor are magnetized in opposite polarities to each other so that the stator and the rotor are brought into close contact by an attractive magnetic force generated therebetween in an axial direction.
