Abstract

A piezo-electric device type actuator of the invention is less susceptible to damage in the to joint portions of between a laminated piezo-electric device and a base member or a movable block. The piezo-electric device type actuator includes a laminated piezo-electric device having a plural number of piezo-electric ceramics laminated to a predetermined length; a stationary base member; a pair of resilient plates extended along opposite lateral side surfaces of the laminated piezo-electric device, respectively, with each plate welded at one end to the base member; and a movable block welded to the other end of each of the resilient plates while applying a predetermined compressive force to the laminated piezo-electric device. The laminated piezo-electric device is fixed to the base member and movable block by welding to provide bondage of high reliability between these parts.
