A resonant inertial impact rotary piezoelectric motor based on a self-clamping structure is designed, assembled, and tested. The designed piezoelectric motor mainly includes a rotor (two vibrators, preload mechanism, and intermediate connection mechanism), a clamping mechanism, and another auxiliary mechanism. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet on the rotor drives the vibrator to swing under the excitation of a single harmonic wave.

Article Synopsis
  • A new bidirectional rotary piezoelectric motor was developed that can switch between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation without changing its structure, using a simple modification of the driving signals.
  • This motor is designed to excite multiple vibration modes, making it more efficient and simpler in structure and control compared to traditional bidirectional motors.
  • Simulations using COMSOL5.5 matched well with experimental results, showing the motor's optimal frequency at 900 Hz, achieving a maximum speed of 3.9 rad/s, a torque of 15 N mm, and a resolution of 0.248°.

A new multimodal bidirectional linear inertial impact motor with bidirectional motion based on self-clamping control driven by a single-harmonic signal was designed and manufactured. By applying driving signals of different resonant frequencies to the piezoelectric plate of a piezoelectric motor combined with the unique structural design of the motor, the piezoelectric motor has multiple modes and has the ability of two-way movement. First, the overall structure of the motor is introduced, and its working principle and theoretical displacement characteristics are presented through the periodic motion diagram of the piezoelectric motor.

We propose a multimodal model to realize the bidirectional motion of a self-clamping linear piezoelectric motor driven by a single harmonic signal based on previous motor research. Compared with the previous version, only the characteristics of the drive signal need to be changed in the motor without changing any other conditions to excite multimode and achieve reverse movement. The finite element software COMSOL was used to simulate the mode of the motor.

A new resonant-type inertial impact piezoelectric motor based on a cam locking mechanism was designed, assembled, and tested. The motor is composed of a stator, a rotor, and other auxiliary components. The cam clamping foot of the stator in contact with the inner surface of the rotor forms a cam locking mechanism, which can make the resonant vibration of the stator effective in a half cycle.

A novel piezoelectric rotary motor (PRM) on the basis of synchronized switching control was designed, fabricated, and tested to achieve high speed, high efficiency, and high torque. The new motor mainly consists of a vibrator working in the resonance state as the driving element of the PRM and a clutch working in the quasi-static state to control the shaft for unidirectional rotation. The finite element method software COMSOL Multiphysics 5.

A novel resonant linear piezoelectric motor based on a synchronized switching stimulated by harmonic synthesized mechanical square wave was designed in this study. The driving mechanism of the motor was also investigated. The periodic square wave motions of the clutch and the vibrator were generated by composing two sinusoidal resonant bending vibrations with a frequency ratio of 1:3.
