Abstract

This paper reviews the history and present state of magnetostrictive devices capable of controlled motion over large linear distances. Magnetostriction imparts the most force perunit weight of any technology however, the successful development of practical devices requires a multi-disciplinary effort involving materials science, magnetics, innovative mechanical design, electrical power engineering, and system control engineering. Advances todate have included demonstrations linear motors capable of 115 Newtons of force at 2.54 centimeters/second.
