As symbolized by the "Janglish (Japanese English)" word, mechatronics, the technology and the social adaptation for introducing electronics into mechanics has been readily accepted in Japan. 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. This book, in English, builds on my earlier publications concerned with ceramic actuators. The first edition titled "Essentials for Development and Applications of Piezoelectric Actuators" was published in 1984 through the Japan Industrial Technology Center. The second edition "PiezoelectriclElectrostrictive Actuators" published in Japanese through Morikita Pub. Co. (Tokyo) became one of the best sellers in that company in 1986, and was then translated into Korean. The problem solving edition "Piezoelectric Actuators -Problem Solving" was also published through Morikita, which was sold in conjunction with a 60 minute video tape to provide easy understanding.

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.
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.

This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piezoelectric ultrasonic motors offer many advantages such as high retention being very controllable, high torque at low speed, light weight, simple structure and no electromagnetic field induction compared with the conventional electromagnetic motors. These advantages have helped to expand the application fields where precise position control and rotational/linear motions can be utilized. One of the most remarkable features of the compact ultrasonic motor is that it has higher design flexibility compared with that of the conventional electromagnetic motors whose efficiency significantly decreases with miniaturization. In order to build a novel ultrasonic motor for a specific purpose, it is essential to examine the structural design and the electrical and mechanical properties prior to preparing a real motor. The ATILA simulation tool offers useful information related to the performance for a designed piezoelectric ultrasonic motor. A real motor can therefore easily be manufactured with minimized trial and error. In this chapter, two types of tiny motors are presented, including the process of ATILA simulation and the fabrication of ultrasonic piezoelectric motors.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 182 pages. 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 motionvia 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 contrary to the apparently random oscillations observed in the motor's steady-state operation. 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.
