Abstract: A piezoelectric component achieves a desired Qm by using a presently available piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric component includes a supporting substrate on which pattern electrodes are provided. Electroconductive supporting members are disposed on the pattern electrodes, and a piezoelectric resonator is mounted on the supporting members. External electrodes of the piezoelectric resonator and the pattern electrodes are electrically connected to each other by the supporting members. Gaps between the piezoelectric resonator and the supporting substrate are filled with a first elastic material element. A second material element may be provided on the surface of the piezoelectric resonator disposed opposite to the surface of the resonator facing the supporting substrate. Only one of these elastic material elements or both these elastic material elements may be used.

Abstract: In a high-pressure cleaning apparatus comprising an electric motor arranged in a housing, a high-pressure pump arranged in a housing with at least one piston entering a pump chamber in a sealed manner, and a swash plate carried by a motor shaft protruding from the housing of the electric motor, with the piston or pistons of the high-pressure pump resting in a resilient manner against the swash plate, in order to achieve electrical insulation in the region of the swash plate drive, it is proposed that the transition from the motor shaft via the swash plate to the piston or pistons be electrically interrupted by an electrically insulating material being interposed therebetween.

Abstract: This invention provides a two-phase motor which is applicable to a field where high rotation precision is required as in an FDD spindle motor, which requires a low cost, and which can maintain stable characteristics free from magnetic balance fluctuation between the two phases due to assembly. This motor has a ferromagnetic stator having N stator salient poles and a rotor magnet having M poles. N and M are selected to be both even numbers so a relation N:M=2:2n-1 (n is a natural number) holds. The N stator salient poles are divided into first and second salient pole groups of N/2 stator salient poles on which windings are concentratedly wound. The stator salient poles belonging to the first and second salient pole groups are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the stator. The phases of the windings of the stator salient poles belonging to the first and second salient pole groups are sequentially opposite to each other in the circumferential direction in units of groups.
