magnetostriction [mag‚nēd·ō′strik·shən] (electromagnetism) The dependence of the state of strain (dimensions) of a ferromagnetic sample on the direction and extent of its magnetization. Magnetostriction The change of length of a ferromagnetic substance when it is magnetized. More generally, magnetostriction is the phenomenon that the state of strain of a ferromagnetic sample depends on the direction and extent of magnetization. The phenomenon has an important application in devices known as magnetostriction transducers. See Ferromagnetism The magnetostrictive effect is exploited in transducers used for the reception and transmission of high-frequency sound vibrations. Nickel is often used for this application.

The C-Series is said to be ideal for cylinder applications like set-up clamps, because it is small and fits inside most encasings, and it provides accurate and continuous measurement based on magnetostrictive technology. Introducing R-Series synchronous serial encoder interface (SSD position sensor, said to be the world's fastest and most accurate magnetostrictive position sensor. Their magnetostrictive properties must be tailored to the application and are usually measured by depositing the film on one side of a slender, non- magnetic reed. |
