Abstract: (625 Views)
This paper presents an innovative bulk magnetostrictive actuator made of a 2V-Permendur alloy rod, capable of functioning across multiple deformation modes—longitudinal, torsional, and flexural. In longitudinal mode, displacement is produced by the Joule effect, where a magnetic field applied along the rod’s axis, generated by a surrounding coaxial coil, induces deformation along its length. Torsional mode activation follows the Wiedemann effect, wherein an electric current passed directly through the rod produces a circumferential magnetic field that twists the material. Additionally, flexural deformation is achieved by a special designed magnetic core that directs a magnetic field to the rod’s surface, producing bending movements along the rod’s length. The actuator operates using controlled DC magnetic fields. Experimental results demonstrated outstanding performance, with maximum displacements reaching 12 microns in longitudinal mode, 7 microns in flexural mode, and 0.15 degrees in torsional mode. Such multi-functional performance highlights the actuator’s potential in precision positioning systems, with particular suitability for advanced microscopy, optical instrumentation, and other fields requiring sub-micrometer positioning accuracy.
Keywords: Magnetostrictive actuator, Permendur alloy, Longitudinal-torsional-flexural modes, Precision positioning, DC magnetic fields.
