A device for magnifying displacement of a piezoelectric element (1) at a printing head is proposed. The displacement of the column shape piezoelectric element (1) due to applied voltage is transmitted to a contact member (5) and is magnified via a displacement magnifying mechanism (6, 7, 8, 10) to drive a printing wire (11) connected to the displacement magnifying mechanism. A temperature compensating member (12) is disposed between a frame (3) supporting the piezoelectric element (1) and the piezoelectric element (1) and/or between the contact member (5) and the piezoelectric element (1), and gives a preload to the piezoelectric element (1) to fixingly support the piezoelectric element (1) between the frame (2, 3) and the contact member (5). The temperature compensating member is plastically deformed to compensate for the deformation of the piezoelectric element (1) due to the temperature change. |
