A mechanical transducer comprises a converter which comprises a plurality of elongate flexible elements (1) joined together at their opposite ends and spaced at intervals around a longitudinal axis of the transducer. The opposite ends (2,2) of the converter are displaceable towards and away from each other along the axis, which displacement is accompanied by a bowing or straightening of the elongate elements (1). Thus, an axial force applied to the converter will be converted to a radial force exerted by the elongate elements (1), or a radial force applied to the elongate elements (1) will be converted to an axial force.
