This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of a new type of low-voltage (<40 V) piezoelectric Pb 0.97 Nd 0.02 (Ti 0.45 Zr 0.55 )O 3 multilayer actuator/force sensor. Thick-film hybrid technology is used in a wide spectrum of applications with new areas being continually discovered. In the manufacture of solid-state sensors and actuators, however, these applications require special modifications to normal printing conditions. A thick-film hybrid, combining a PZT low-voltage multilayer micromovement actuator and a force sensor, has been realized using a specially devèloped double-paste printing (DPP) method. The transducer structure is capable of wording in pressure-sensing applications where two clamped opposing surfaces are subjected to a static force loading. A decrease in capacitor voltage under static force conditions (a problem of the leakage current) is avoided by implementing a small force-inducing dynamic displacement (10–100 nm) multilayer (six layers, layer thickness 40 μm) actuator, vibrating at a frequency > 10 Hz, into the same multilayer element. The sensitivity (effective voltage) of the prototype transducer is ≈ 1 mV/N (≈ 0.35 mV/bar) (for 2.4 mm diameter, In acteff (sinusoidal) = 40 V and displacement ≈ 100 nm). The suitable actuating frequency range is between 10 and 200 Hz, and the measurement range is 400 bar (20 kg loading mass). The sensitivity can be adjusted by changing the structure of the transducer.
