Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic motors, and in particular to a design method and stator for an ultrasonic motor based on carbon fiber composite material. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasonic motors utilize the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramics to generate high-frequency micro-vibrations and output macroscopic motion through the friction between the stator and rotor. They have advantages such as fast response, high positioning accuracy, power-off self-locking, and no electromagnetic interference, making them suitable for high-precision linear drive, rotary drive, and precision positioning mechanisms.
[0003] The stator is the core component of an ultrasonic motor. Traditional ultrasonic motor stator elastomers are mostly made of metal materials, resulting in a large mass, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and weight reduction of ultrasonic motors.
