Abstract
The present invention relates to a piezoelectric ceramic composition for an actuator which is a ceramic composition comprising a main component represented by the formula: Pb.sub.(1-x) La.sub.x [Zr.sub.y Ti.sub.(1-y) ].sub.(1-x/4) O.sub.3 and, as a sub component, antinomy in an amount of more than 0.05% by weight and less than 3.0% by weight in terms of anitmony pentoxide relative to the main component. The piezoelectric ceramic composition of the present invention has a high electromechanical coupling factor, a high piezoelectric strain constant and a high Curie point, and is particularly excellent as a material for a piezoelectric actuator.
