Talk:Piezoelectric motor

What is piezoelectric motor
hi! my name is timur. what is piezo motor? Piezo to the me the beloved can do about motors? These motors and her necessary related knowledges I want you to add e-mail to my address from the you. My address timur_derebeyi@hotmail.Com Is already your interest and a beloved very thanking I do:) i am a student i want know about piezo electricity —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.161.56.6 (talk) 12:53, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Concerns with the use of terms Piezo Wave and Piezo Legs to describe a class of frictional ratcheting piezo-electric motors
The terms Piezo Wave and Piezo Legs are trademarks and specific designs from the MicroMo/Faulhaber group. The terms DO NOT present either the actuation strategy or the generic scientific nomenclature useful in describing the physics of motion. Hence the usage of these terms has been discarded. --70.183.90.130 (talk) 22:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Merge from both Ultrasonic motor & Inchworm motor
Although ultrasonic motor is quite a common term used to refer to any piezoelectric motor, and it could be said they refer to a specific type of piezo motor, they are always a piezoelectric motor, so I believe they should be featured on this page rather than their own.

I think the same can be said of the inchworm motor page since the principle (at least on the microscale discussed) primarily applies to piezo motors.

Distinction should probably be made between "inchworm" type drives which can operate from 0Hz upward, and drives that must operate at high or ultrasonic frequency such as slip-stick friction based drives or drives that need to develop a travelling wave of a certain velocity or amplitude to begin moving.

I agree that ultrasonic motors are a distinct subset of piezo motors, I have started integrating them to that effect with 2 separate categories or resonant and non resonant types of motors with links to their main pages, similar to the electric motor page with multiple subtypes.
