A piezoelectric actuator includes a stacked piezoelectric device received in a cylindrical case having an extendable and contractible portion formed at least at an axial part thereof, and a housing provided with a pair of external electrodes for power supply and connected to an open end of the cylindrical case. Between the piezoelectric device and the cylindrical case, a molding resin having an electric insulation property is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the piezoelectric device, and a sleeve having an electric insulation property is provided on the molding resin. The sleeve is formed by a plurality of circumferentially separated sleeve segments assembled together into a substantially cylindrical shape. |
