ABSTRACT:
A control valve, in which a valve body opening and closing a valve mouth is driven by a strain force of a piezostack, characterized in that an upper fixed portion of said piezostack is supported by a ring-like tapered surface or a spherical surface and a lower movable portion of the piezostack is combined with a valve body through a spherical bearing.
The strain output can be surely transmitted to said valve body by holding the piezostack so that no movement other than a strain resulting from the application of voltage may be produced.
