The study of servo control in ultrasonic motor

DC servo motors have small torques compared to their weight. In order to reduce the speed and increase the output torque of the DC motor, a gear box is commonly used. The use of a gearbox, however, imposes limitations onmany applications because of the backlash and the reduction in transmission efficiency. Furthemore, the elastic deformation or the compliance of the gearbox decreases the accuracy of the servo mechanism and the stability of the system. In view of the many disadvantages in using the gearbox, a more effective solution has to be found. The solution is the direct drive mechanism. There are many kinds of direct drive motors. I will consider the ultrasonic motor in particular.
