Book excerpt: Ultrasonic motors, which have superior characteristics like high torque at low speed, absence of magnetic interference, and compactness in size, are good candidates for medical applications, automation, robotics, aerospace engineering and various other fields. Many different types of ultrasonic motors have been proposed up to date. The stator of an ultrasonic motor that is excited by piezoelectric elements in ultrasonic frequency range develops different kinds of vibrations depending on its structure. From the way of creating an elliptical motion on the stator, ultrasonic motors were classified into two major groups, such as standing wave and traveling wave types. Further classifications include mode-conversion, multi-mode and mode-rotation types of motors that are suitable for miniaturization and can be manufactured less costly. Ultrasonic motors are of great interest due to the flexibility of miniaturization in comparison with conventional electromagnetic motors whose efficiency decreases significantly. Especially in information systems and medical industry, compact size of these motors makes them find wider applications.

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.

Currently robots are producing many products under computer control in Japanese factories, and supermarkets are utilizing automation systems for sample displays and sales. Further, the fast paced change in semiconductor chip technology has given rise to the need for micro-displacement positioning techniques. Actuators utilizing piezoelectridelectrostrictive effects are expected to meet these needs in mechanical components in the next micro mechatronic age.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Control of Travelling-wave Ultrasonic Motors submitted by CHUNG, Sheung Wai for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in April 2006 A traveling-wave ultrasonic motor (TUSM) converts electricity into mechanical motion using piezoelectric effect. Generally two AC sinusoidal voltages with finite phase difference are employed to produce a continuous, time-varying bending of the stator. Such bending forms a traveling-wave along the surface of the stator. Since the rotor is hard pressed to the stator by a pressure disc, it is driven into rotation. The TUSM features a high holding torque. It offers a high torque at low speed characteristics. Its response is fast and it is much more than the traditional DC servomotor. Since it utilizes piezoelectric effect, there is no electromagnetic interference. Although the TUSM is very suitable for many mechatronic applications, its speed exhibits nonlinear response to controllable inputs. Such peculiarity presents a significant challenge for servo control using the TUSM. Different approaches of modeling have been adopted. These include equivalent circuit analysis, analytic approaches and finite element analysis. Unfortunately, they are either too complex or computationally intensive for controller design and simulation. In consequence, various empirical controllers have been employed. The first objective of this project is to develop a practical model of TUSM for control purposes. It relates the controllable inputs to the output torque of the TUSM. The second objective is to utilize this model to develop various modes of torque control, thus demonstrating its effectiveness. Both passive compliance and active speed controls are developed. Passive compliance control includes both the self-locking torque control and the reacting torque control. Neurofuzzy control and a practical model-based control have been explored for active speed control. Hence, all the control strategies which are essential for a robot manipulator are available, allowing TUSM to be deployed to it. A digital signal processing (DSP) based control system has been developed for experimental purpose. It consists of a DSP microcontroller, a power electronic drive, a TUSM and an optical encoder. The microcontroller provides two trains of PWM signals with variable frequency and duty ratio to the drive. The frequency expands the controllable speed span and the duty ratio offers a partial linear relationship to the motor torque. Through resonance, the drive converts a dc voltage into two sinusoidal voltages with finite phase difference. They are required to drive the TUSM. The optical encoder provides speed feedback to the microcontroller. This DSP-based system can therefore readily be deployed for standalone embedded mechatronic system. Experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of self-locking torque and reacting torque control. Superior performance in tracking and disturbance rejection is also observed in both neurofuzzy and practical model-based controls.
