A new working principle for multimodal excitation of a resonant bidirectional rotary inertial impact piezoelectric motor with a self-clamping structure was developed based on previous research on piezoelectric motors. Unlike previous piezoelectric motors that relied on single harmonic waves for unidirectional rotation, in this motor, we can simply change the driving signal characteristics of the motor without changing the structure of the piezoelectric motor to excite multiple vibration modes, thereby achieving rotation in both directions. Compared with other bidirectional resonant motors, the structure and control signal are simpler. The finite element simulation software COMSOL5.5 was used to simulate the working mode of the motor, and the results were in good agreement with the final experiment. During the experiments, the optimal operating frequency of the motor prototype was 900 Hz. The maximum output speed of the motor prototype was 3.9 rad/s, the maximum output torque was 15 N mm, and the maximum resolution was 0.248° under the conditions of 240 Vp-p voltage, 900 Hz frequency, and 7.8 N mm preload torque.
