In a liquid transporting apparatus, when a thickness of a vibration plate is Tv (mm), a coefficient of elasticity of the vibration plate is Ev (kg/mm<SUP>2</SUP>), a thickness Tp of a piezoelectric layer is Tp (mm), a coefficient of elasticity of the piezoelectric layer is Ep (kg/mm<SUP>2</SUP>), a length of a pressure chamber is Wc (mm), a length of partition wall sections in a width direction of the pressure chamber is Wa (mm), a thickness Ta of an adhesive layer interposed between the partition wall sections and the vibration plate is Ta (mm), a coefficient of elasticity of the adhesive layer is Ea (kg/mm2), and further when A=((Tv+Tp)<SUP>3</SUP>x(Ev+Ep)/2)/Wc<SUP>1/2 </SUP>and B=EaxWa/Ta, values of A and B satisfy a relationship of -0.03A-1200(1/B)+0.08>0. Accordingly, a fluctuation in a liquid transporting velocity due to difference in drive patterns of pressure chambers can be suppressed assuredly without performing any special process on a piezoelectric actuator.
