摘要 |
The invention relates to a piezoelectric actuator, in particular for actuating control valves or injection valves in motor vehicles, having an actuator body in the form of a multilayered laminate made up of stacked layers of piezoelectric material with intervening metallic or electrically conductive layers that function as electrodes, which, in alternating fashion, electrically contact common electrode strips disposed on the circumference in the longitudinal direction of the actuator body, and having electrical connecting conductors which, in order to supply the operating voltage to the piezoelectric actuator, electrically contact the respective common electrode strips. On at least one end face remote from the valve, the actuator body has a covering layer made of piezoelectrically inactive ceramic material and the connecting conductors electrically contact the common electrode strips only in the vicinity of this covering layer.
