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
