Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A standing wave type slider for a self-running ultrasonically levitated linear stage is discussed. The slider can be levitated and moved using the acoustic radiation force and the acoustic streaming. The slider has the simple configuration: it consists of an aluminum vibrating plate and a PZT element. The configuration of the slider was determined via the harmonic analysis results of the FEA (Finite Elemental Analysis) to obtain the large asymmetric vibration distribution for the high thrust and levitation performance. As a preliminary step, the computed result of the sound pressure distribution in the 1-mm air gap by the FEA was compared with the experimental results using the fiber optic probe. The direction of the total driving force for the acoustic streaming in the small air gap was estimated by the sound pressure distribution calculated by the FEA, and it was found that the direction of the acoustic streaming could be switched by controlling the vibration mode of the slider. The flexural standing wave could be generated along the vibrating plate near the predicted frequencies by the FEA results. The slider could be levitated by the acoustic radiation force radiated from own vibrating plate at several frequencies. The slider could be moved in the negative and positive direction at 68 and 69 kHz, which correspond to the computed results by FEA, with the asymmetric vibrating distribution of the slider’s vibrating plate. The larger thrust could be obtained with the smaller levitation distance, and the maximum thrust was 19 mN.
