Magnetic actuators and sensors are used to produce and control motion. Applications include systems such as automotive anti-lock brakes, computer disk drives, and factory automation.

These actuators are driven by a very low current, which emits a negligible magnetic field. By sandwiching the actuator between an off-the-shelf magnetometer and a magnetic component, as shown in the ...

These auxetic actuators completed their shape transformations within 0.2-0.4 seconds—comparable to the fastest previously reported magnetic soft actuators but with a greatly simplified manufacturing ...

Siemens Infrastructure & Cities’ Low and Medium Voltage division has released the new type SDV7-MA distribution circuit breaker that provides a magnetic-actuator operator as an alternative to the ...

Superparamagnetic Twist-Type Actuators with Shape-Independent Magnetic Properties and Surface Functionalization for Advanced Biomedical Applications. Advanced Functional Materials, 2014; 24 (33 ...

Magnetic levitation systems and actuators represent a significant advance in precision motion control, utilising magnetic forces to suspend and manoeuvre objects without physical contact.

The VACOFLUX 18HR alloy offers 60% higher resistance, significantly reducing eddy currents and thus enhancing the dynamic behaviour of magnetic actuators. These features, coupled with the alloy's ...

Our magnetic sensing mechanism can achieve high accuracy and precision for the HASEL actuator displacement range, and accurately tracks motion at actuation frequencies up to 30 Hz, while being robust ...
