The present invention relates to an ultrasonic motor comprising a stator formed by using an acoustic waveguide of helical coil shape or an acoustic waveguide of in-plane spiral coil shape, so that a rotor placed in close proximity to, or in close contact with the coil is rotated, traveled, or performed curved line movement by the propagation of the wave on the stator, thereby eliminating the provision of a preload spring and an absorber, simplifying the structure of the motor, reducing the size of the motor, and enabling to work in a liquid environment without water proofing and rotation of a hollow tube.
