Embodiment Construction

[0074] Figure 7 is a side cross-sectional view of a PZT microactuator assembly 114 with a constraining layer 130 incorporated thereon, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Consistent with the orientation shown in the figures, the side of the PZT that is bonded to the suspension will be referred to as the bottom side 129 of the PZT 114, and the side of the PZT away from the side from which the PZT is bonded will be referred to as the bottom side 129 of the PZT 114. 127 for the top side. According to the present invention, one or more constraining layers or constraining elements 130 are bonded to the top side 127 of the microactuator PZT element 120 . The constraining layer 130 preferably comprises a rigid and elastic material, such as stainless steel, and is preferably bonded directly to the top surface 127 of the PZT element 120 including its top electrode 126, or the SST material itself can be used as the top electrode, thus eliminating the need for a...

Abstract

A multilayer piezoelectric microactuator assembly has at least one polarized and active piezoelectric layer and one polarized but passive piezoelectric layer. This polarized but passive layer acts as a constraining layer against expansion or contraction of the first piezoelectric layer, thereby reducing or eliminating bending of the component when installed in the environment, thereby increasing the effective stroke length of the component. Polarizing only a single layer induces stress in the device; thus, polarizing two piezoelectric layers even though only one layer will be active in use reduces the stress in the device and thus increases reliability.
