New to Our Range:
A Magnetic Shape
Memory Alloy that Converts Magnetic Field Energy into Kinetic Energy |

Goodfellow is pleased to announce the addition of an
innovative
magnetic shape memory alloy
(nickel-manganese-gallium) to our range.
This material responds to magnetic fields, allowing for the
conversion of
magnetic field energy into kinetic energy.
Although it is similar in action to
piezo-based or
magnetostrictive materials, this patented NiMnGa single
crystal
produces much higher strain outputs (typically 10 to 100 times more)
and higher energy density (8 to 50 times higher). This novel
alloy
represents a significant alternative to conventional
actuators, especially
for applications that require a large strain and light weight, such
as in
aerospace, automotive and medical components. |
