    摘要: An electrical device (29) such as a piezoelectric actuator is protected against permeation by injurious fluids such as fuel (diesel/gasoline) and water by encapsulating the device with a shape memory metallic material (46). The shape memory metallic material (46) may be in the form of a tube manufactured to the required dimensions for encapsulation of the device (29). The tube may then be plastically deformed, such as by stretching, before being placed over the device (29) and heated above its transformation temperature to recover its original shape. The invention is particularly suitable for protecting passivated piezoelectric actuators.

    摘要: An actuator arrangement comprising a piezoelectric actuator having a body section, a shroud which enshrouds at least part of the body section of the actuator, and at least one constrictive member disposed externally with respect to the shroud. The constrictive member applies a constrictive force to the shroud to maintain a seal between the shroud and the underlying body section of the actuator.

    摘要: A piezoelectric actuator comprises a co-fired stack (10) of piezoelectric elements (12) formed from a piezoelectric material and a plurality of positive internal electrodes (14) interdigitated with a plurality of negative internal electrodes (16) throughout the stack (10) to define active regions (22) of the piezoelectric material which are responsive to a voltage applied across the internal electrodes (14), in use. An external positive electrode (18) connects with the positive internal electrodes (14) and an external negative electrode (20) connects with the negative internal electrodes (16). The actuator is characterised in that the stack (10) further comprises means (34; 38a, 38b; 40) for deliberately creating artificial cracks (36) within the stack (10) at a location at which the artificial cracks do not give rise to a short circuit between the internal electrodes (14, 16) but serve to relieve stresses within the piezoelectric material.
