A novel type of 2DOF （two degree of freedom） spherical ultrasonic motor with three traveling-wave type stators was developed. Its structure and driving principle are introduced, especially a spiral form of the spring was presented The key issue of the self-regulation between the stators and the spherical rotor was solved, and the errors caused by processing and installation were overcomed by making use of the special-made spring. Ensured that the preload between the stators and the spherical rotor was more uniform and smooth. The mathematics model of the motor was established based on the Friction Drive Model, and the analytical expression of mechanical characteristics calculation was deduced. The features of the mechanical characteristics were acquired by make the minimum Euclidean norm as a target. The developed motor has Ф40 mm rotor, the maximum output torque reaches 0.12N·m, the maximum speed is 90 r/min, and the performance is consistent in all directions. This type spherical motor has many advantages of compact structure, convenient installation, prominent performance. It has significant application in many field, such as robotics manipulator＇s joint, CCD working stage.
