Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piezoelectric ultrasonic motors have the potential to enable important applications such as endovasular surgical micro-robots due to their high torque and power density at the 0.1-1 mm diameter range. A type of ultrasonic motor that is suitable for miniaturization is the combined axial-torsional standing-wave (CATS) ultrasonic motor that generates the CATS stator motion via pretwisted beam vibration converters. The operation of the motor involves (1) the generation of an ellipse-like stator tip trajectory when the pretwisted-beam stator is excited to vibrate in a CATS motion by a piezoelectric transducer, and (2) the transfer of frictional torque when the rotor is pressed against the stator tip. To gain a better understanding of the CATS ultrasonic motor, centimeter-scale prototypes were fabricated and tested to determine the characteristics of the motor design. Theoretical models of the pretwisted beam stator and the torque transfer mechanism were also investigated to help us predict the effects of various design parameters. The axial and torsional resonance frequencies of the pretwisted-beam stator needs to be matched for an effcient generation of the CATS stator motion. To help designers select the right analysis method for the design process, we investigated the validity of common pretwisted beam theories that assume the warping function of a pretwisted beam is locally identical to that of a prismatic beam. Through a scaling analysis of the equations governing the warping function of pretwisted beams -- derived using semi-inverse method and Hamilton's principle -- we obtained a set of criteria for checking the validity of the assumption. These criteria allow us to determine at what geometries the use of prismatic warping function will result in poor predictions of the axial resonance frequency and that alternative modelling methods are needed. Existing models of CATS motors ignore the vertical displacement of the rotor, predicting periodic behaviours that are co.

Our incorporation of the rotor's vertical motion results in a bouncing-disk model that explains various behaviours of the motor prototype, including the oscillations in the transient speed-time curve, and the effect of preload on stall torque and steady-state speed. The nonlinear dynamical system formed by the bouncing disk model shows that different stator trajectories and interface properties can give rise to complex phenomena such as period doubling bifurcation, chaos, and extremely long period "chattering orbits". Knowledge of the location and basins of attraction for these orbits gives us detailed understanding of the motor's behaviour that will help designers improve the performance of CATS ultrasonic motor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the operating principles of linear ultrasonic piezoelectric motors, a motor made by Nanomotion Ltd. was examined and a model of the driving process was developed. A new motor has been designed that uses the same driving process but improves resolution, speed, efficiency and especially controllability. All designs involve at least two independently driven piezoelectric elements, one generating the normal load at the interface and the second generating the tangential driving force. The greatest challenges in developing this motor are 1) the actuator needs to have two different mode shapes at nearly the same frequency and 2) each mode shape must be exclusively excited by one actuator and not by the other. The quality of the operation of the motor directly depends on how well the excitation of both vibrations can be separated. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been used to model the actuator and predict the dynamic properties of a future prototype. The model includes all significant features that have to be considered such as the anisotropy of the piezoelectric material, the exact properties and the dimensions of the actuators (including all joints). Several prototypes have been built, and the resulting mode shapes and natural frequencies have been measured and compared to the computer models. The design concepts as well as the modeling techniques have been iteratively improved. Open loop testing has shown that the motor generates slideway motion such that the steady state slideway velocity is proportional to the excitation voltage. To fully characterize the motor and to demonstrate its full potential for positioning tasks, the motor has been tested in a closed loop control system. Despite saturation of the control input and nonlinearities in dynamics of the motor-slideway system, it was shown that a simple feedback control system using proportional gain or proportional-integrating control algorithms can be used to achieve a stable responsive positioning sy.

Download or read book Modeling of an Ultrasonic Rotary Motor written by Carlos Cuauht Cuevas Gutierrez and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrasonic motors are a new type of actuators that use mechanical vibrations of its stator to drive the rotor through frictional forces between the interface of the stator and rotor. Ultrasonic motors have recently been attracting considerable attention in industrial applications where high precision, fast response and high torque at low speed are desirable. In contrast to traditional electromagnetic motors, ultrasonic motors provide larger torque to volume ratio, silent operation, and compact design. Furthermore, its operation is not affected by electromagnetic fields, and the motor shaft remains braked when the power supply is removed. The commercial development of ultrasonic motors, however, has been limited primarily due to lack of complete models for the purpose of control. Consequently, the development of an accurate model based on the physical structure is extremely vital for controllers development. The present dissertation proposes a comprehensive model for the purpose of predicting the motor performance. A lumped-mass model of the stator is proposed to consider the coupling effects on the stator based on the flexibility influence coefficients, which are estimated from a finite element method. Moreover, the stator natural frequencies are obtained using modal analysis. Nonlinear tangential interface forces between the rotor and stator are incorporated into the driving torque function. A rotor model based on the Stribeck effect, Coulomb and viscous friction is also incorporated to describe the friction torque associated with the motor response. An extensive series of experiments have been designed together with a state-of-the-art test bench built at the laboratory of Concordia University. The validity of the proposed model was examined by comparing the model results with the measured data under different excitation conditions. The lumped-mass model is able to reproduce reasonably well the stator displacements and the excited modes when it is driven at different frequencies as a result of the stiffness coupling. Several rotor model parameters are identified by using the experimental data and a weighted error minimization function. From the results obtained in the present study, it is concluded that the proposed USM model can reproduce reasonably well the motor behavior to different excitations inputs such as step, ramp and harmonic excitations as well as the torque-speed characteristics. It is important to note that the developed model shows torque-speed hysteresis behavior, which has not been reported in literature. To experimentally confirm this new phenomenon, extensive experimental tests have been conducted to identify the torque-speed characteristics on the ultrasonic motor. It has been observed from experiments a clear torque-speed hysteresis in the ultrasonic motor attributed mainly to the friction drive principle at the contact interface. This behavior, however, has not been addressed previously. It is suggested that the lack of an appropriate instrumentation together with inadequate models have made very difficult to describe this phenomenon. On the other hand, the torque-speed hysteresis exhibits a high asymmetric behavior at low speed as a result of the friction torque produced by the Stribeck effect.

A full transient analysis using the finite element method is performed characterizing the speed and contact variables is conducted in the second paper. The results show that given enough time the crawler is inherently stable and will reach a steady state velocity"--Abstract, page iv.
