Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a piezoelectric element from cracking or peeling off and manufacture a product of a long lifetime, by equipping an elastic holder to hold the projecting base of the piezoelectric element and distribute stress by bending. CONSTITUTION:One edge of a piezoelectric unimorph made by sticking a flat piezoelectric element 1 to a vibration plate 2 is fastened by a supporter 3. An elastic holder 4 is interposed into the piezoelectric unimorph fastening part of the supporter 3 and fixed thereto. Applying voltage to the piezoelectric element 1 expands or contracts the piezoelectric element 1 depending on the polar direction of the applied voltage and bends the other edge of the piezoelectric unimorph in the direction A or B depending on the difference of the displacement from the vibration plate 2. In this time, bending stress is applied to the projecting base 5 of the piezoelectric element 1, however, the stress by bending can be distributed because the projecting base 5 is held by the elastic holder 4. This prevents the piezoelectric element 1 from cracking or peeling off, improves the reliability of the actuator, and provides a product of a long lifetime.
