ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic motor unit comprises a stator having a piezoelectric member and an elastic member which is excited by the piezoelectric member to generate a travelling vibration wave, and a rotor which is press-contacted to the stator and driven by the travelling vibration wave. At least two sets of input electrodes each having two input electrodes are circumferentially arranged on the piezoelectric member. A drive voltage is applied to only the selected ones of the input electrodes in accordance with a drive power requirement.
