Abstract

PURPOSE:To exclude an influence of the hysteresis of a piezoelectric element to perform the fine adjustment control with high precision by providing an actuator consisting of the piezoelectric element which displaces a fine adjustment table and sticking a strain gauge onto the flat spring of a parallel flat spring mechanism and connecting the output of this strain gauge to a control system of the closed loop control of displacement of the fine adjustment table. CONSTITUTION:An actuator attaching base 5 is provided on a base 1, and an actuator 6 consisting of a layer-built piezoelectric element which displaces a fine adjustment table 3 in the direction orthogonal to a flat spring 4 is provided between the actuator attaching base 5 and the fine adjustment table 3 supported by the parallel flat spring mechanism. A strain gauge 8 functioning as a displacement detecting sensor is stuck to the flat spring 4. The output of this strain gauge 8 is fed back as the displacement signal of the fine adjustment table 3 to perform the closed loop control, thereby controlling displacement of the fine adjustment table 3. Thus, an influence of the hysteresis of the piezoelectric element actuator is excluded to control fine adjustment with a high precision.
