PURPOSE:To generate a large torque of low speed with a small-sized, light weight and simple structure by repeating the operation that cylindrical piezoelectric units are alternately fixed and separated a rotor and the ultrafine rotation of circumferential direction by circumferential drive units. CONSTITUTION:A pair of cylindrical piezoelectric units 1, 2 radially contract and expand by an electric signal. The units 1, 2 and a base 3 are coupled by a plurality of circumferential drive units 4a, 4b,...,5a, 5b,... The relative rotational displacement between the base 3 and the units 1, 2, the rotor 6 is generated by repeating the operation that the units 1, 2 are alternately fixed and separated and the ultrafine rotation of circumferential direction by circumferential drive units 4a, 4b,...,5a, 5b.... |
