Project
Ultrasonic Motor
Short Description:
A ring of piezoelectric elements is used as a stator.
Unique feature: A ring of piezoelectric elements is used as a stator in high-efficient Ultrasonic Motor without mechanical reduction gear. Control of Ultrasonic Motors could reach an accuracy of 1 degree with torques up to 10 nm and a velocity of 3 radians per second.
How It Works:
- On plugging the device into the wall socket or the computer, piezoelectric elements expand and contract periodically, as a result, a moving wave across the ring is created and spins the objects.
- The microcontroller controls the direction of rotation, speed, torque, and automatically adapts to the Ultrasonic Motor parameters.
Technologies used
- Piezoelectric elements
- Function generator
- MAX3232
- MCU
