  text: 'Several positioning tasks demand translatory drive instead of rotary motion.
    To achieve drives that are capable, e.g., to drive the sunroof of a car or to
    lift a car''s window, multiple miniaturized motors can be combined. But in this
    case many other questions arise: The electromechanical behavior of the individual
    motors differs slightly, the motor characteristics are strongly dependent on the
    driving parameters and the driven load, many applications need some extra power
    for special cases like overcoming higher forces periodically. Thus, the bundle
    of motors has to act well-organized and at last controlled to get an optimized
    drive that is not oversized and costly.'

  text: 'Classically, rotary motors with gears and spindle mechanisms are used to
    achieve translatory motion. In means of miniaturization and weight reduction piezoelectric
    linear motors are of interest. Several ultrasonic linear motors found in literature
    base on the use of two different vibration modes. Most often flexural and longitudinal
    modes are combined to achieve an elliptic micro-motion of surface points. This
    micro-motion is converted to direct linear (or translatory) motion of a driven
    slider. To gain high amplitudes of the micro-motion and thus having a powerful
    motor, the ultrasonic vibrator should be driven near the eigenfrequency of its
    modes. Additionally, low mechanical and electrical losses lead to increased efficiency
    and large amplitude magnification in resonance. This demands a geometrical design
    that fits the eigenfrequencies of the two different modes. A frequency-deviation
    of only a few percent leads to non-acceptable disturbance of the elliptical motion.
    Thus, the mechanical design of the vibrators has to be done very carefully. Within
    this contribution we discuss different motor designs based on the coupling of
    two the same longitudinal vibrations within one structure to generate an elliptic
    motion of surface points. Different concepts based on piezoelectric plates and
    Langevin transducers are compared. Benefits and drawbacks against the combination
    of longitudinal and bending modes will be discussed. Numerical results of the
    stator vibration as well as motor characteristics are validated by measurements
    on different prototypes. '

  text: Rotary ultrasonic motors have found broad industrial application in camera
    lens drives and other systems. Linear ultrasonic motors in contrast have only
    found limited applications. The main reason for the limited range of application
    of these very attractive devices seems to be their small force and power range.
    Attempts to build linear ultrasonic motors for high forces and high power applications
    have not been truly successful yet. To achieve larger force and higher power,
    multiple miniaturized motors can be combined. This approach, however, is not as
    simple as it appears at first glance. The electromechanical behaviour of the individual
    motors differs slightly due to manufacturing and assembly tolerances. The individual
    motor characteristics are strongly dependent on the driving parameters (frequency,
    voltage, temperature, pre-stress, etc.) and the driven load and the collective
    behaviour of the swarm of motors is not just the linear superposition of the individual
    drive's forces. Thus, the bundle of motors has to be synchronized and controlled
    appropriately in order to obtain an optimized drive that is not oversized and
    costly. We have investigated driving and control strategies of a set of linear
    ultrasonic motors. Our contribution will be divided into three main parts. In
    part I ultrasonic linear motors will be introduced. In part II driving strategies
    for a single motor as well as for a bundle of motors will be presented. These
    concepts will be verified by simulation results and experimental data. In part
    III a simplified model for the motor's electromechanical behaviour will be given.

  text: 'Piezoelectric ultrasonic motors have been investigated for several years
    and have already found their first practical applications. Their key feature is
    that they are able to produce a high thrust force related to their volume. Beside
    rotary drives like the travelling wave motor, linear drives have also been developed,
    but only a few are presently commercially available. In the present paper, we
    first describe the state of the art of linear piezoelectric motors. The motors
    are characterized with respect to their no-load velocity, maximum thrust force,
    efficiency and other technical properties. In the second part, we present a new
    motor, which is judged to be capable of surpassing the characteristics of other
    piezoelectric motors because of its unique design which allows the piezoelectric
    drive elements to be pre-stressed in the direction of their polarization. The
    piezoelectric elements convert energy using the longitudinal d33 effect which
    allows an improved reliability, large vibration amplitudes and excellent piezoelectric
    coupling. Energy loss by vibration damping is minimized, and the efficiency can
    be improved significantly. Experimental results show that the motor characteristics
    can be optimized for a particular task by choosing the appropriate operating parameters
    such as exciting voltage, exciting frequency and normal force. '
