Title:
PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/032624
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An SIDM device (1) is provided with a pillar-shaped piezoelectric element (2) which expands/contracts in the axial direction by the application of a voltage, a pillar-shaped drive shaft (3) which is fixed to the end surface of the piezoelectric element (2) in the axial direction and is displaced by the expansion/contraction of the piezoelectric element (2), a supporting member (4) which has a fixed portion (40) fixed to the drive shaft (3) and supports the piezoelectric element (2) and the drive shaft (3) with the fixed portion (40) between the supporting member (4), and the piezoelectric element (2) and the drive shaft (3), and a moving body (5) which is frictionally engaged with the drive shaft (3) and moves in the axial direction of the drive shaft (3).  A central axis (L2) of the piezoelectric element (2) and a central axis (L3) of the drive shaft (3) are offset to each other, and the central axis (L3) of the drive shaft (3) and a central axis (L4) of the drive shaft (3) in the axial direction in the entire fixed portion (40) are offset to each other.  As a result, the drive shaft is able to accurately perform oscillating motion.
