REGULATION BY PRICES, QUANTITIES, OR BOTH: A REVIEW OF INSTRUMENT

An actuator (1), in particular for operation of fuel injectors in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, has in this embodiment a plurality of layers (2) of a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive material arranged in a stack. The actuator (1) is prestressed by a tie rod (6) arranged in a central recess (5) by way of opposing threads (7 and 8). Securing the device and the transfer of force are accomplished by a cover plate (3) and a bottom plate (4). The prestress can also be created by a sheathing (9) surrounding the actuator (1), which transfers an axial force component onto the layers (2) via the cover plate (3) and the bottom plate (4) by flanging of projecting ends (10).
