A small, linear-type, piezoelectric ultrasonic cryomotor has been developed for precision positioning at extremely low temperatures (⩾−200°C). This cryomotor consists of a pair of Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)O3−PbTiO3 single crystal stacks, which are piezoelectrically excited into the rotating third-bending mode of the cryomotor stator’s center, which in turn drives a contacted slider into linear motion via frictional forces. The performance characteristics achieved by the cryomotor are: (i) a maximum linear speed of >50mm∕s; (ii) a stroke of >10mm; (iii) a driving force of >0.2N; (iv) a response time of ∼29ms; and (v) a step resolution of ∼20nm.
