Method and device for making a first body (8), having magnetostrictive properties, and a second body (6), against which said first body is in bearing contact with a certain grip between the contact surfaces, to move with respect to each other while substantially maintaining said grip. According to the invention a magnetic field is made to sequentially influence only one of adjacent partial sections of said magnetostrictive body (8), starting from the front end of the body as seen in the intended direction of movement. The magnetic field is adjusted so that the respective partial section under the influence of the magnetic field undergoes an increase in length, at the same time being subject to a contraction in the transverse direction which is big enough in order to decrease, preferably eliminate the grip between the bodies. The device includes a rod (8) of magnetostrictive material, which is clamped within a tubular body (6), one end of which being attached to a rigid supporting structure. The magnetostrictive rod (8) is connected to a bar, a link etc. having its opposite end connected to the element to be actuated by the movement of the rod in the tubular body (6). |
