Abstract: An elastic magnet in bar shape, consisting of permanently magnetized Sm_2Co_7 micro-particles, was produced. The longitudinal strain and/or force amounts given by this novel material under the action of a longitudinal magnetic field are here investigated in order to evaluate the potential applications in very ductile actuator systems.
