At this time, the force is applied to the two legs of the torsional vibration generating disk 14. Since the center of the torsional vibration generating disk 14 is fixed with a bolt 15, the torsional vibration generating disk 14 bends. A projection 16 is provided on the top of this torsional vibration generating disk 14.

When a high frequency electric field with a phase difference of 0 degrees is applied by the electrode 2o, a traveling wave of flexural vibration is generated in the stator base body 21. The traveling waves of the stator base body 21 generated in this manner bring the movable element 22 and the stator base body 21 into frictional contact through the lining material 23, and extract rotational force. In this conventional example, a composite plastic made of aromatic polyamide fibers hardened with resin is used for the lining material 23 to prevent wear.

因となっていた。Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, in an ultrasonic motor, ultrasonic vibrations generated by a vibrator in a stator are transmitted to a movable element by friction and extracted as rotational motion or linear motion. Since output is obtained through friction in this way, in order to suppress the wear on the sliding surfaces between the stator and mover, for example, as mentioned above, we coat them with Cr, or use composite plastics made of aromatic polyamide fibers hardened with resin. It is used as a lining material. However, when trying to obtain a large output with an ultrasonic motor, it is necessary to increase the pressing force between the stator and the movable element, and to increase the frictional force. When increasing the friction force in conventional ultrasonic motors, a wear-resistant layer of Cr or
The durability of the ultrasonic motor was insufficient, especially during high-load operation, due to increased wear of the lining material, which is made of a composite plastic made of aromatic polyamide fibers hardened with resin. Furthermore, the inability of Cr, composite plastics, and the like to propagate ultrasonic waves with high efficiency has also been a factor contributing to the low efficiency of ultrasonic motors.

音波モーターとなる。Therefore, if a film containing carbon atoms is formed on the sliding surface of an ultrasonic motor as in the present invention, the ultrasonic vibrations generated by the vibrator can be extracted as output with high efficiency without attenuation. In order to obtain a large output, the pressing between the stator and the mover does not cause wear on the sliding surfaces even if the force is increased, and is highly durable, and stick-slip does not occur on the sliding surfaces. This is an ultrasonic motor that provides stable output characteristics even during high-load operation.

は、反応性ガス7を変えるだけで良い。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a PI-CVD apparatus, and a specific method for forming a diamond-like carbon film will be illustrated below using FIG. After installing the stator 3 that forms the diamond-like carbon film near the outlet of the plasma tube 9 and connecting the negative and negative terminals of the DC power source 5, the vacuum vessel 4 and the plasma tube 9 are sealed, and the vacuum pump 12 is used to Evacuate to about Torr. Next, a gas containing carbon atoms, such as methane gas (CH4) as a reactive gas, and argon gas, for example, as an auxiliary gas 8 that promotes the decomposition of the reactive gas 7 are introduced into the plasma tube 9 and set to a predetermined pressure. . This mixed gas of methane gas and argon gas is connected to a high frequency power source 1o
and the excitation coil 11, and this plasma contains a large number of ions and radicals containing carbon, which is the main component of the diamond-like carbon film, so these ions are transferred to the stator by the DC power supply 5 and the mesocye electrode 6. 3
At the same time, the radicals are accelerated in the stator 3 due to the gas pressure difference between the plasma tube 9 and the vacuum vessel 4.
A diamond-like carbon film is formed on the surface of the stator 3 by spraying the carbon onto the surface of the stator 3. For example, methane gas 0.2
Torr, argon gas 0.2 Torr, high-frequency power 0.2 KW, and DC voltage 0.7 KV, a diamond-like carbon film with an amorphous structure with carbon atoms or diamond bonds with SP electron configuration was formed at a deposition rate of 200 OA.
/sin, which is several times to ten times faster than other formation methods. This film has a Vickers hardness of 260O.
K9/mΔ, and has satisfactory characteristics as a protective film for an ultrasonic motor as shown in the above example. Furthermore,
In the PI-CVD method, an excellent diamond-like carbon film can be formed without heating the stator 3, so that the stator 3 is not thermally deformed and the finished dimensional accuracy necessary for a precision motor can be sufficiently ensured. Furthermore, in the PI-CVD method, when forming other TaC films, SiC films, B4C films, etc., it is only necessary to change the reactive gas 7.

Therefore, approximately 0.5 to 21. It is preferably about an.
