Analysis of Preload of Three-Stator Ultrasonic Motor

Abstract

The pre-pressure device of the ultrasonic motor plays a vital role in the design of the entire motor structure, the contact state of the stator and rotor of the motor, dynamic properties of the stator, friction and wear characteristics of the rotor; even the mechanical behaviors of the entire electric machinery have a profound impact. Appropriate pre-pressure is conducive to the smooth operation of the ultrasonic motor, so that the output performance remains excellent, reducing wear and effectively extend the service life of the motor. Therefore, the research on pre-stress is of great significance, as it can better optimize the structure of the three-stator ultrasonic motor and lay the foundation for the stable operation of the motor. First, this paper introduces the construction of the motor as a whole and the pre-pressure device briefly described the working mechanism of the motor, and then introduces the influence of the pre-pressure on the stator and rotor contact models, the position of the constant velocity point, and the modal frequency. Finally, the motor output under different pre-pressures is discussed. The performance experiment has determined the optimal pre-pressure interval, which provides help for its subsequent optimization.
