Abstract

See full text

An oscillatory wave drive device has an oscillatory wave driving unit having an electromechanical energy conversion element having drive phases and a detection phase, a diaphragm, and a rotor, in which a traveling wave is generated on the surface of the diaphragm of the electromechanical energy conversion element to drive the rotor, and the driving speed of the rotor is controlled based on a signal of the phase difference detecting unit. In the oscillatory wave drive device, a detection phase voltage step-down unit and a drive phase voltage step-down unit each containing a resistance voltage dividing circuit having at least two resistors are provided and the voltage dividing ratio in the resistance voltage dividing circuit of the detection phase voltage step-down unit is lower than 1/1 and higher than 1/20.
