The invention relates to a force module () for generating forces in a highly dynamic manner by assembling a plurality of piezo actuators () for connecting to a voltage source. To enable the force module () to generate forces in the range of a few 100 kN in a highly dynamic and spatially resolved manner, according to the invention it is proposed that the force module () consists of at least two sub-modules (), each having at least two piezo actuators () and their electrical contacting elements, and a controlling and protection module () for the piezo actuators () in the sub-modules (), wherein all electric contacting elements of the sub-modules () are fed into the controlling and protection module ().
