Abstract

See full text

A method for making piezoelectric solid state motor stack disks. The method includes the steps of preparing a piezoelectric ceramic powder; preparing a substantially cylindrical piezoelectric ceramic slug from the powder; and cutting the slug with an ID saw into disks of a predetermined thickness. The method further includes pressing the powder in a press at a pressure of between about 1500 psi and 6000 psi and firing the slug at a temperature of between about 1250.degree. C. and 1350.degree. C. for a period of between about 15 min. and 4 hours. The method also comprises the steps of cleaning the ceramic disks after slicing; and applying a conductive layer to a portion of facets of the disks prior to the assembly step.
