Abstract

PURPOSE:To lessen pipings and electric wirings, and further to reduce power consumption by providing a piezoelectric changeover valve, a control circuit, a power supply, and a receiver on the body of a hydraulic actuator. CONSTITUTION:On the body 2 of a cylinder 1, a piezoelectric changeover valve 5, a power supply 6, a receiver 7, and a control circuit 8 are provided. Thus, since the cylinder 1 can be remotely operated as long as a signal is wirelessly sent and further the cylinder itself has a power supply, pipings and electric wirings can be lessened. In addition, since the changeover valve for charging over a hydraulic pressure is of a piezoelectric type, the driving in a low power consumption can be enabled.

In such a configuration, when a command signal for switching the cylinder 1 is transmitted from the transmitter 22 and received by the receiver 7, the two upper and lower piezoelectric actuators 12 are controlled to be energized or de-energized by the control circuit 8. . When both piezoelectric actuators 12 are energized, they are displaced upward and come into pressure contact with the upper valve seat 11, closing the upper valve port 13. Therefore, while the head side chamber 17 is opened to the atmosphere, compressed air is forced into the camp side chamber 18, and the piston 4 is slid toward the head side.
