Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0145081A1] The invention relates to a piezoelectric ultrasonic transformer (1), comprising a housing (2) and a piezoelectrically active layer (4) which is connected to the housing (2) via an insulating layer (5). According to the invention, an adaptive layer (6) is also located between the insulation layer (5) and the housing (2), the thermal expansion coefficient of said adaptive layer having a value between the values of the thermal expansion coefficient of the housing (2) and the insulating layer (5). An ultrasonic transformer (1) of this type has a long service life even when used in an environment of frequent temperature fluctuations.
