Possibilities to employ bending type oscillations of the Langevin type piezoelectric transducer to drive slider are analyzed in the paper. Special aluminium plate with a drive tip is added in the middle of a typical half wavelength Langevin transducer. Piezoceramic rings with two directional polarization are used. Elliptical trajectory of the driving tip is excited when electric signal with shifted phase by [..]/2 is applied on different piezoceramic rings. Numerical and experimental investigation of the actuator was carried out to analyze natural shapes and harmonic response to the different excitation sets. Optimization of the aluminium plate design was carried out to maximize parameters of the elliptical motion of drive tip. The results of numerical and experimental study are discussed.
