Abstract
The present invention relates to a piezo-electric torque actuator with low stress electrodes. The present invention is specially used to produce tilting motions in high frequency ranges. The invention provides for forming a piezo-electric stack element with required external electrical connection contacts with a substantially reduced mechanical load and which direct tilting motions without required additional means for motion transformation. The present invention is formed of at least two areas of piezo-electric stacks, and an area arranged there between which contains segments that are affect only partially or are unaffect by an electrical field generated by the flat laminate contacts. This is accomplished by disposing external electrode connections of the two areas as far as possible in the direction of field-reduced or field-free areas, wherein the in between area is connected with the two areas (1 and 2) at least in positive fit.
