Abstract: An electromechanical transducer comprise a piezoelectric transducer element (5), which is arranged in a pressurized chamber (3) filled with a fluid (4). The piezoelectric transducer element (5) can comprise a plurality of piezoceramic platelets connected with each other by thin-walled metallic contact platelets, which are also connected electrically to connector pins (10) on the outside of a housing (1) in which the pressurized chamber (3) is located. When a controlling voltage is applied to the connector pins, the transducer element (5) experiences a reversible deformation, which is transmitted to the fluid, so that an operating element (14) is raised above a contacting surface (16) according to the force on the fluid. The transducer element (5) can be separated from the fluid (4) by a membrane (17). The platelets can be connected to the connector pins via spring-like resilient conductive contact pieces for maintaining electrical contact when the piezoceramic platelets are in a deformed activated state.
