Title:
DRIVE UNIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/055427
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A drive unit comprises an electromagnet (6) which is capable of direct acting or rotating and generates a pre-pressure, a sliding guide (4) having a sliding guide surface (4a) abutting against the sliding surface (6a) of the electromagnet (6) and to which the pre-pressure is applied, a piezoelectric element (7) which applies vibration to the electromagnet (6) by using the inertial force of a table (8) mounting a positioning object (9), and a motor (5) which generates a driving force for driving the electromagnet (6)(movable portion (2)) in a predetermined direction so that the driving force becomes greater than the frictional force fFR_ON between the sliding surface (6a) and the sliding guide surface (4a) when the vibration is applied to the electromagnet (6), but becomes smaller than the frictional force fFR_OFF between the sliding surface (6a) and the sliding guide surface (4a) when the vibration is not applied to the electromagnet (6).
