Title:
PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATOR ELEMENT FOR ULTRASONIC MOTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/023686
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A piezoelectric actuator element for an ultrasonic motor comprises a laminated piezoelectric element (14) produced by alternately laminating piezoelectric layers (10) and electrode layers (12) formed to divide the piezoelectric layer (10) substantially into two, and using primary longitudinal mode and secondary bending mode. A piezoelectric inactive region (11) is formed in the central portion of the laminated piezoelectric element (14) in the thickness direction from the surface portion. In this piezoelectric actuator element, migration resistance is enhanced while suppressing deterioration of displacement, occurrence of short-circuit is prevented, heat generating positions are scattered during AC polarization and reliability is enhanced. Furthermore, the quantity of electrode is reduced and the cost can be reduced.
