ABSTRACT:
A magnetostrictive actuator is provided comprising an actuator base, a magnetostrictive assembly, an actuator frame, and a flexible disk. The magnetostrictive assembly includes a magnetostrictive element. A first end of the magnetostrictive element is mechanically coupled to the actuator base. A first portion of the actuator frame is mechanically coupled to the actuator base. The flexible disk includes a perimetrical disk portion and a bearing surface portion. The perimetrical disk portion is mechanically coupled to the second frame portion and the bearing surface portion is mechanically coupled to the second magnetostrictive element end portion. The magnetostrictive actuator comprises a magnetostrictive material portion and a plurality of cooling fluid bores formed within the magnetostrictive material portion. Further, the magnetostrictive actuator may comprise an epoxy matrix, a plurality of cooling fluid bores formed within the epoxy matrix, and a plurality of magnetostrictive rods formed within the epoxy matrix.
