Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress a deflection due to the own weight of a piezoelectric laminate and a vibration to be generated by an impact from an exterior by holding the laminate through an elastic insulating material in a case. CONSTITUTION:The outer periphery of a piezoelectric laminate 2 is so cylindrically covered with an elastic insulating member 11 interposed between a case 1 and the laminate 2 as to have flexibility in the displacing direction of the laminate 2. Thus, the laminate 2 is stably held through the member 11 in the case 1. A fixed side substrate 6 is clamped with screws at the case 1. The member 11 is adapted to be formed of a material, such as epoxy resin, urethane resin or silicone resin, etc. Thus, since the whole laminate is held by the member 11 at not only the fixed side but the operating side of the laminate 2, even if the laminate 2 is long, it can suppress a deflection to be generated by its own weight and a vibration due to an impact from an exterior.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional laminated piezoelectric actuator having the above configuration has the following problems. In other words, since the piezoelectric laminate 2 is fixed to the case 1 only by the fixed side substrate 60,
When the case 1 is held horizontally as shown in the figure, the weight of the piezoelectric laminate 2 itself causes the distal end side to which the actuation side substrate 7 is attached to bend downward. Further, when an external impact is applied, the piezoelectric laminate 2 may pick up the impact and vibrate, and there is a risk that a portion of the piezoelectric laminate 2 may collide with the inner surface of the case and be damaged.
