Monolithisches piezokeramisches Bauelement und Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung

摘要

The invention relates to a method for polarising piezoelectric components, especially piezoelectric actuators, said components being made up of a number of piezoceramic layers with metal electrodes arranged in between. The inventive method is characterised by the following steps: a) a compressive stress (Tp) is applied to the component to be polarised before the polarisation process begins and until it has ended, said compressive stress counteracting the prolonging effect of the electric polarisation field to be applied and the value of the compressive stress (Tp) corresponding to Tp0 and preferably to Tp>/=Tb, Td being equal to the limit pressure determined by the deviation from the elastic lines and Tb being equal to the static pressure applied when the component is later operated; and b) an electric polarisation field is applied to the component, the field strength applied being greater than the coercive field strength for the component.
