ABSTRACT:
Strain gages (81, 82, 83) are adhered to protective layers (31, 32) and an active portion (2) of a laminated-structure (10) of the piezoelectric actuator, respectively. Since it is possible to measure a total amount of displacement of the protective layers (31, 32) and the active portion (2), the measured amount of displacement of the laminated structure (10) is accurate even if there are difference in strain due to temperature and stress between them. The same effect can be obtained for such actuator whose laminated structure (10) further includes any member such as temperature compensating member (19) of metal whose elastic modulus is different from that of the laminated structure.
