Ultrasonic motors by type

Ultrasonic motors for magnetic field environments

Ultrasonic motors (piezosonic motors) are quiet, high-torque motors that use piezoelectric ceramics, which expand and contract when voltage is applied, as their drive source. Unlike typical motors that use electromagnetic force, they do not use coils or magnets, but operate using frictional force, making them small and lightweight, yet capable of use in magnetic fields and without backlash. Taking advantage of these characteristics, they are ideal as direct drive motors for positioning stages, belt conveyors, angle indexers, robot arms, and other posture control devices, as well as motors for MRI and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

This is a special motor that is not affected by magnetic fields even in high magnetic field environments such as 3 [T], and does not emit magnetic fields during operation, so it does not affect external equipment. Ideal as a motor for operating drug injectors and auxiliary equipment in MRI, and as a motor for precision objection determination equipment such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Inside the ultrasonic motor

Sensorless model

An ultrasonic motor that can be combined with a sensor provided by the customer. By changing or additionally machining the shaft, you can use any sensor such as a limit switch, potentiometer, or absolute encoder. There are single shaft type A type and double shaft type B type.
