Piezoelectric motor and electronic equipment with piezoelectric motor

Abstract

By obtaining a support structure capable of performing a stable support by means of a simple constitution and without suppressing vibration of a vibrating body, there are aimed at improvements in positioning precision and positioning controllability and a positioning stability, thereby providing a piezoelectric motor whose dispersion of performance is made small. In a piezoelectric motor operating, by vibration of a vibrating body having a piezoelectric element, a contact member contacting with the vibrating body or a friction member provided in the vibrating member or the vibrating body itself, there are possessed plural concave portions provided in the vibrating body, and a support member having plural convex portions engaging with the concave portions.
