  • Piezo actuator with external electrode soldered to outer face
    Patent number: 8638025
    Abstract: A multilayer piezo actuator is specified, in which piezoelectric layers and electrode layers are arranged to form a stack. Electrical contact is made with the electrode layers via two external electrodes which consist of wires which are woven with one another. The external electrodes are in this case connected over their entire area to the side surfaces of the stack. A method is also specified for fitting an external electrode.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 28, 2014
    Assignee: Epcos AG
    Inventors: Reinhard Gabl, Franz Rinner, Jan-Thorsten Reszat, Markus Laussermayer
  • Piezoactuator having electrical contact
    Patent number: 8441175
    Abstract: A piezoactuator has multilayer construction. Piezoelectric layers and electrode layers are alternatingly disposed one over the other in a stack. A number of the electrode layers are electrically conductively connected to a contact pin. A continuation is electrically conductively disposed on the contact pin. The continuation has a contact point with the contact pin and a free end for producing an electrical connection of the piezoactuator. A straight line extending through the contact point and the free end of the continuation encloses an angle with the longitudinal axis of the contact pin that is greater than 0° and less than 180°.
