A leaf spring 4 constituting an elastic member one end of which is fixed
to a foundation 6, and other end of which is brought into contact with a
laminating type piezoelectric element 2 or a driven member 5 is
constituted such that a thickness is thinned from a side of the
foundation 6 to a side of the laminating type piezoelectric element 2 to
make a moment of inertia smaller on a side of a portion of other end held
by the laminating type piezoelectric element 2 than a portion on one end
side fixed to the foundation 6. Further, a strain gage sensor 8 is
attached to a side face 4a of the leaf spring 4 constituting one face of
one end of the leaf spring 4 proximate to the laminating type
piezoelectric element 2 orthogonal to a direction of elongating and
contracting the laminating type piezoelectric element 2 constituting a
side of the driven member 5.
