ABSTRACT:
A piezoelectric bending transducer includes two piezoceramic layers each having two sides and electrodes on both of the sides. A graphite fiber layer is glued between the piezoceramic layers with an epoxy resin. The graphite fiber layer has a greater length than the two piezoceramic layers defining an exposed part of the graphite fiber layer. A copper foil is glued to the exposed part. The copper foil has an area for disposition of a solder contact. A process for producing a bending transducer includes placing a graphite fiber layer impregnated with incompletely hardened epoxy resin between two polarized piezoceramic layers. The graphite fiber layer is glued between the piezoceramic layers upon hardening of the epoxy resin. A copper foil is glued onto the graphite fiber layer, preferably simultaneously with the gluing of the two piezoceramic layers.
