Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lever-arm displacement-increasing device for use, for example, in a precise positioning device and a sound-generating actuator in the fields of cars, airplanes, high-precision machining, precise measuring apparatuses, and electronic apparatuses.
  • a magnetostrictive actuator has attracted interest which uses a magnetic material having magnetostrictivity and a rigidity higher than that of a piezoelectric material such as PZT, that is, which uses a magnetostrictive material.
  • the magnetostrictive material In the magnetostrictive actuator, the magnetostrictive material must be greatly displaced in order to produce great acoustic waves or oscillatory waves. However, in order to greatly displace the magnetostrictive material, a control current must be increased. This increases input power, and also increases the size of the actuator itself.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 5-236595 discloses magnetostrictive displacement-producing devices that overcome the above problems, and that can efficiently produce a high output and a large displacement.
