Abstract
A feed mechanism is constructed with a piezoelectric actuator embedded in the front end of a square sliding shaft, which is supported by hydrostatic guide surfaces formed on a guide base for sliding motion in the axial direction. A cooling jacket having a helical channel on its outside surface is provided at the periphery of the piezoelectric actuator. A part of pressurized fluid fed to the hydrostatic guide surfaces is led to the helical channel of the cooling jacket through a cooling oil feeding channel formed in the sliding shaft, and fluid in the helical channel is drained to a low pressure space through an oil discharging channel formed in the sliding shaft.
