Publication number: 20230240143Abstract: A piezoelectric actuator includes a piezoelectric element having a rectangular shape, a first supporter, and a second supporter. The piezoelectric element includes a pair of main surfaces opposing each other, a first end surface and a second end surface opposing each other in a long side direction of the pair of main surfaces, and a first side surface and a second side surface opposing each other in a short side direction of the pair of main surfaces. The first supporter is provided to be movable according to deformation of the first end surface. The second supporter is provided to be movable according to deformation of the first side surface. The first supporter includes an opposing portion and a protruding portion. The opposing portion opposes the second supporter in the long side direction. The protruding portion protrudes from the opposing portion and abuts on the second supporter.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: TDK CORPORATIONInventors: Shuto ONO, Satoshi SASAKI, Yasuyuki SATOH, Keiji OGUCHI

Publication number: 20220376163Abstract: A multilayer piezoelectric element includes a piezoelectric body containing a piezoelectric ceramic material, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The piezoelectric body includes a first main surface and a second main surface opposing each other. The first electrode includes an external electrode formed on the first main surface. The second electrode includes an internal electrode formed inside the piezoelectric body to oppose the external electrode. The piezoelectric body includes an active region between the external electrode and the internal electrode, and includes an inactive region opposite to the active region with the internal electrode interposed therebetween. A stress received by the piezoelectric body from the external electrode is larger than a stress received by the piezoelectric body from the internal electrode. A polarization direction of the active region is a direction directed from the external electrode to the internal electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2020Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: TDK CorporationInventor: Shuto ONO
