90R031 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electric traction motor provides forcible rotary or linear positioning of a motor shaft by pairs of actuators that are electrically stimulated to produce tractive cyclical walking. Smooth walking actuators provide high mechanical efficiency and long life by eliminating sliding friction. The actuators are stimulated by a high efficiency electrical drive system to position relatively large-area traction members that match the speed of the motor shaft. The preferred embodiment comprises piezoelectric actuators having layers of shear deformation piezoelectric material. Conventional bearings and lubrication are not required, and embodiments of the motor can be constructed to operate satisfactorily in intense magnetic fields and severe ionizing radiation. The traction motor can range in scale from microscopic to very large, and positioning accuracy on the order of nanometers has been demonstrated.
