Abstract: In a travelling wave driven motor and its driving apparatus, the absolute value of a speed is controlled using a vibration amplitude value as a main manipulation variable. A plurality of frequencies are selectively generated as sub manipulation variables, and are used as the driving frequencies of the motor. In a precision positioning operation (precision operation mode), an electric signal, which has a first selected frequency separated by a predetermined value from a resonance point of a stator of the motor, and has a predetermined amplitude value, is supplied to a piezoelectric element. In a high-speed feed operation (coarse operation mode), an electric signal, which has a second selected frequency near the resonance point of the stator, and has a predetermined amplitude value, is supplied to the piezoelectric element.
