A method for controlling a piezoelectric drive wherein a required voltage to be applied to a piezoactuator for a desired deflection of the piezoactuator is determined by means of the deflection characteristic curve of the piezoactuator, the piezoactuator is supplied with a current by means of a current source, the voltage is measured on the piezoactuator while the piezoactuator is being supplied with the current from the current source, the voltage measured is compared to the voltage required, and the supply of the piezoactuator with the current from the current source is turned off once the required voltage is reached.
