Abstract
An elastic member 43 comprises a crystalline resin. The elastic member is fixed to a piezoelectric element 42 that generates vibration in response to application of an AC voltage, is in contact with a movable body 45 in use, and flexurally vibrates in response to the vibration of the piezoelectric element 42 to drive the movable body 45. The elastic member 43 may have a tooth 43b on an opposite side with respect to a side fixed to the piezoelectric element 42. The crystalline resin may be a poly(aryl ketone) resin or a poly(phenylene sulfide) resin. The piezoelectric actuator has an excellent transmission of flexural vibration. In a case where a displacement expansion element of a displacement-expanding piezoelectric actuator is formed from a crystalline resin, the actuator greatly amplifies an expansion and contraction displacement of a piezoelectric element. In a case where a resonance member of a Langevin transducer is formed from a crystalline resin, the transducer allows the vibration of the surface at a high speed even in application of a low electric current (or a low voltage).
