IPC: G11B5/55
Filed: 2001-01-09
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a moving piece for an elastic surface wave actuator, in which a phase change caused by a pressing force is small and drive efficiency of the elastic surface wave actuator can be improved, and the elastic surface wave actuator using the moving element. SOLUTION: Protrusion arranging parts and air gap parts are formed in parallel with the propagation direction of an elastic wave on a contact surface with a stator, so that the ratio of the width of the protrusion arranging part to that of the air gap part is set at 1:4 to 1:10. Using this constitution, the influence of a phase change on the elastic surface wave passing the protruding parts can be restrained. As a result, a force for pressing the moving piece against the stator can be increased, in order to increase a driving force. Thereby the moving piece for the elastic surface wave actuator can be obtained, which allows the saving of power and the improvement of the driving force compatible with each other and can improve the drive efficiency of the actuator.
