Title:
PIEZOELECTRIC ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001048834
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a piezoelectric element, comprising at least one piezoceramic layer (1, 10, 21) that is located between electrodes (4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 16, 22, 23). An element of this type can be used as a sensor, an actuator or similar. In order to increase the life cycle of the piezoelectric element, in particular during use in a humid or chemically aggressive atmosphere, the piezoelectric element is coated (P) externally with parylene.
