2. Description of the Related Art Applications utilizing torsional vibration are wide, such as ultrasonic motors, vibrating gyroscopes and machine tools. For such a purpose, an electrostrictive element is used which applies polarization in the circumferential direction and applies a driving voltage in the thickness direction to generate slip vibration in the circumferential direction. There has been proposed a device that is integrally held to cause resonance vibration. An example of the conventional electrostrictive element will be described with reference to FIG. That is, a large number of electrodes 2 extending from one surface to the side surface of the toroidal electrostrictive element 1 and extending over the other surface are provided evenly in the circumferential direction, and a high DC voltage is applied between adjacent electrodes so that the circumferential direction is indicated by an arrow. Then, all the electrodes are sequentially polarized, and after the entire circumference is polarized, all the electrodes are removed.After that, both surfaces are wrapped again to correct the roughness of the surface due to the polarization, and the electrodes are provided on both surfaces again. This forms a distortion element. As a torsional vibration generator, Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-9159
As shown in the publication, a plurality of electrostrictive elements are electrically overlapped in parallel, and a metal material is bonded to both surfaces thereof and integrally fastened by a center bolt or the like.

However, in the above-described electrostrictive element, in order to provide remanent polarization in the circumferential direction, the polarization process between adjacent electrodes must be performed by the number of times of polarization. In addition, if the polarization is to be performed in the circumferential direction, the number of divisions increases, and the operation becomes extremely difficult.

In addition, when the polarization is formed, the material is partially formed, so that the material is cracked due to polarization distortion, and the yield is reduced. Further, as the number of divisions is smaller, an electric field is generated in the other portion in the opposite direction in such a manner that necessary polarization is canceled out by wraparound in the circumferential direction, thereby reducing the polarization effect. For example, when the electrode is divided into eight parts in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 9, when a high voltage is applied between the electrodes 2a and 2b to perform polarization,
When the region between 2a and 2b is polarized in the direction of the arrow, approximately the other seven locations are polarized in the opposite direction with 1/7 intensity. Therefore, if the same operation is repeated while sequentially changing the location to which the voltage is applied, the polarization intensity between the electrodes, for example, between 2a and 2b, becomes 0, as in 1-1 / 7 × 7 = 0. I will.

As shown in FIG. 1A, a plurality of electrodes 2 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces (front and rear surfaces) of a PZT plate 1 in a strip shape. When a voltage is applied between the electrodes 2a and 2a ', an electric field is generated as shown by an arrow in FIG. If the width of the electrode 2b is large, the electric field between the electrodes 2a and 2b increases, and the electric field near the center in the thickness direction of the PZT plate 1 decreases. However, as in this example, the width of the electrode 2b is reduced. As a result, a sufficiently large electric field is applied also to the central portion of the plate.
