There are disclosed a piezoelectric actuator which can obtain large
displacement at low voltage, which is small-sized and lightweight, and
whose manufacture cost is low, and a small-sized lightweight information
storage apparatus in which the piezoelectric actuator is incorporated, and
which is provided with a small inertia moment during head driving and a
high recording density. A piezoelectric actuator 200 includes a center
body 200a and two spiral arms 200b, and two arms 200b are entirely in
rotation symmetry and nonlinear symmetry.
