  • Patent number: 11888416
    Abstract: A piezoelectric drive device includes two vibrators having vibrating portions with piezoelectric elements and transmitting portions placed in the vibrating portions and transmitting drive forces to a driven member (e.g. a slider), and a fixing portion having through holes (first through hole, second through hole) into which pins or screws are inserted. The two vibrators are placed adjoiningly along a drive direction of the slider, and the fixing portion is placed between the two vibrators and fixing the two vibrators.

  • Patent number: 10658950
    Abstract: A piezoelectric actuator includes a vibrating plate having a piezoelectric material, and a contact part provided in an end portion of the vibrating plate in contact with a driven part, wherein the contact part has a first portion in contact with the driven part and a second portion provided between the first portion and the vibrating plate and having lower rigidity than the first portion. Further, a width of the second portion in a direction crossing an arrangement direction of the first portion and the second portion is smaller than a width of the first portion in the crossing direction.
