A typical magnetostrictive energy harvester consists of active materials, pickup coils and permanent magnets. When the magnetostrictive materials are subjected to purely compressive stresses, [a] flux density variation occurs due to magnetomechanical coupling and can be transferred to electrical voltage via Faraday's law. 2, record 2, English, - magnetostrictive%20energy%20harvester

Magnetostrictive Level Sensors consist of a NEMA 6/IP68 tube which houses the sensor electronics, a magnetostrictive wire and a float with an embedded magnet. The position of the magnet in the float is precisely determined by the interaction with signal pulses in the wire. Float position is then converted to a 4-20 mA output in the current out version, or processed into a level measurement via the serial output in the S3LT version. 2, record 4, English, - magnetostrictive%20sensor

L'interaction avec les impulsions du signal dans le fil détermine avec précision la position de l'aimant dans le flotteur. Cette position est alors convertie en sortie courant 4-20 mA (modèle sortie courant) ou transformée en mesure de niveau via la sortie sérielle. 2, record 4, French, - capteur%20magn%C3%A9tostrictif
