Abstract of the Disclosure A piezoelectric actuator using a bimorph element, comprises: a bimorph element having at least one pair of piezo elements respectively on two surfaces of a central electrode and an electrode formed on a surface of each piezo element which is opposite to a surface contacting the central electrode, the piezo elements formed on the two surfaces of the central electrode being polarized in the same direction with respect to a direction of thickness of the bimorph element; a drive input circuit arranged such that a cathode of a first directional voltage limiting circuit is connected to one electrode contacting a positively polarized surface of the piezo element whose negatively polarized surface contacts the central electrode, that an anode of a second directional voltage limiting circuit is connected to the other electrode contacting a negatively polarized surface of the piezo element whose positively polarized surface contacts the central electrode, that an anode of the first directional voltage limiting circuit and a cathode of the second directional voltage limiting circuit are commonly connected to constitute one drive input terminal, and that the central electrode serves as the other drive input terminal; a constant voltage source for applying a constant voltage to the drive input circuit; and a polarity switching circuit, arranged between the constant voltage source and the drive input circuit, for switching a polarity of the constant voltage source with respect to the one and the other drive input terminals of the drive input circuit.
