Abstract

See full text

A piezoelectric actuator assembly comprising at least a stack of interior piezoelectric wafers which, in one embodiment, each include first and second spaced-apart strips of conductive material defining first and second wrap-around electrodes. The interior wafers are stacked in an alternating relationship wherein the first electrodes and the second electrodes are disposed in an opposed relationship. In one embodiment, the assembly includes an end piezoelectric wafer located at each end of the stack of interior wafers and includes a wrap-around electrode in contact with the interior wafers. A conductive end plate is coupled to each of the end piezoelectric wafers. A terminal wire is coupled to each conductive end plate.
