Abstract :
Amorphous materials in the ribbon or wire form have been commercially produced. There are two basic types, highly magnetostrictive, ideal for stress sensing, and zero magnetostrictive, ideal for proximity devices. A typical sensor uses less than 1 g of the material. The author discusses the use of these materials in force transducers, rotational speed sensors, noncontact torque sensors, vibration and acceleration sensors, and displacement/position sensors
