    摘要: A method of producing a piezoelectric/electrostrictive actuator including preparing first, second and third ceramic green sheets, and laminating the green sheets to form an unfired ceramic body which is then fired. The first, second and third green sheets form spacer, closure, and connecting plates, respectively, the spacer plate having a plurality of windows. An outer surface of the connecting plate that is remote from the spacer plate is machined so as to have a maximum waviness of not larger than 50 .mu.m. Additionally, piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements are formed on an outer surface of the closure plate over respective pressure chambers defined by the windows in the spacer plate.

    摘要: A piezoelectric actuator includes comb teeth-shaped piezoelectric actuators, each comprising plural piezoelectric layers. A side surface of each tooth is fired. Actuators are made by (1) preparing a plurality of piezoelectric material green sheets on which electrode films are formed and forming slits on a first green sheet using a punch and a die, (2) pulling up the first green sheet using a stripper, (3) pulling up a top portion of the punch slightly from the lowest portion of the pulled up first green sheet, (4) forming second slits in a second green sheet by the punch, (5) pulling up the second green sheet jointly with the first green sheet, and (6) pulling up the top portion of the punch slightly from the lowest portion of the pulled up second green sheet, and thereafter laminating green sheets by repeating steps (4) through (6). The layers can thereafter be fired.
