<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotational motion conversion device having less number of parts, formed in a simple structure, reduced in size, particularly advantageous for reduction in thickness, and capable of easily and securely converting the rotational motion of a rotor to the other motion. <P>SOLUTION: This rotational motion conversion device 1 comprises a vibrator 6 having a piezoelectric element and vibrating by an AC voltage applied to the piezoelectric vibrator, the rotor 51 abutting on the vibrator 6 and rotated by a repeated force applied thereto by the vibration of the vibrator 6, and a power transmission part formed integrally with the rotor 51. The vibrator 6 is allowed to abut on the rotor 51 from the radial direction of the rotor 51, and formed to convert the rotational motion of the rotor 51 to the other motion by the power transmission part. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
