Abstract

A vibration type actuator includes a first member that has a vibrator; a second member that extends in a predetermined direction and has a friction sliding surface where the vibrator is press-contacted; a third member that rotatably holds the second member with respect to an axis parallel to the predetermined direction; and a pressing unit that generates a first force for rotating the second member with respect to the axis relative to the third member. The first member is sandwiched between the second member and the third member by the first force. The first member is driven in a driving direction parallel to the predetermined direction relative to the second member by the vibration of the vibrator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vibration actuator, a lens driving device and an ultrasonic motor. Background technique [0002] A vibration-type actuator utilizing vibration of a piezoelectric element is small and generates a large driving force. Therefore, the vibratory actuator is compatible with a wide speed range and has low vibration and noise. There is known a vibration-type actuator that employs a method of simultaneously exciting a plurality of resonance modes on a chip-type vibrator provided with protrusions. The vibratory actuator induces elliptical motion of the protrusion of the vibrator, and relatively drives the friction member in pressure contact with the protrusion by frictional force. A vibratory actuator is characterized by a relatively small vibrator and a drive object that can be directly driven linearly. [0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a vibration motor for linearly driving a drive object using a chip-type vibrator. A ...
