Abstract

See full text

A force measuring device including a crystalline layer with piezoelectric properties. The layer is arranged on at least part of a surface of a solid state actuator (or carrier). The device also includes at least one wear-protection layer with anti-frictional properties. The piezoelectric layer includes crystalline aluminium nitride having a hexagonal crystal structure with a pronounced crystal orientation (002), at least one electrically conductive layer being applied between the surface of the solid-state actuator and the crystalline aluminium nitride layer. The conductive layer is preferably a metal layer consisting of at least one metal, which when oxidized, forms an electrically insulating oxide that is mechanically and thermally more stable than molybdenum(VI) oxide (Mo03).
