ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic motor having a stator in which at least a longitudinal vibration is generated and a rotor rotatably mounted on the stator. Slanted slits are formed on the cylindrical surface of the rotor, which convert a part of the longitudinal vibration in the stator into a twisting vibration that gives the rotor a rotational force. The slits are slanted to the rotational direction of the rotor. The rotor is rotated at a higher speed because of the slits. The form of the slits may be selectively varied according to desired characteristics of the ultrasonic motor.
