Development of Electrostrictive Ceramic Motor ActuatorsElectrostriction, which exists in all materials, exhibits many potential applications in electronic and optically controlled systems. Few materials, however, possess electrostrictive effects large enough to be of practical usefulness. The development of materials with high electrostrictive coefficients has been a major impetus of much research in this area. The Pb(x)Ba(1 - x)(Zr(y)Ti(1 - y))O3 (PBZT) ceramic system appears to be a very promising candidate because of the electrostrictive coefficients, Q(sub 11) and Q(sub 12), are among the highest discovered today. In this paper, we describe the preparation and sintering of the PBZT(73/37) ceramic, and the effect of some sintering conditions on sintered samples. The results on the measurement of the electrostrictive and related properties are presented. In addition, a brief discussion of characteristics of PBZT ceramics is provided.
