DIRECT magnetostriction:

1. Fine positioning of objects
2. Transformation of electromagnetic oscillations into mechanical vibration
3. Electromechanical actuators
4. Active oscillation damping
5. Creation of pressures and forces
6. Prestressing and clamping of parts

INVERSE magnetostriction:

7. Static and dynamic measurement of mechanical forces, pressures, accelerations
8. Measurement of torques and temperatures
9. Non-destructive testing of materials

1. Direct magnetostriction: deformation (change of dimensions and shape) of ferromagnetic objects in magnetic field.
2. Inverse magnetostriction: change of magnetization of ferromagnetic materials under mechanical deformation - magnetoelastic effect.
