Abstract

A film transducer has a holding part, an electroactive composite structure which includes at least one deformable carrier and at least two electrodes arranged on opposite sides of the deformable carrier, and a load application member which is mounted to the composite structure. The holding part engages two ends of the composite structure facing away from each other and the load application member is arranged between the two ends of the composite structure.
