Magnetic Shape Memory (MSM) alloys show a superelastic behaviour with possible deformation rates up to 6% until 12% and a sufficient lifetime performance [1, 2]. In this paper, a passive application for a superelastic Ni-Mn-Ga-alloy is presented by using the MSM element as an accurately defined inner friction in a system of a multistable actuator, in particular a multistable proportional valve. The multistable valve is characterized by a currentless holding of the valve displacement in any position of the stroke. This circumstance makes the concept a very low energy consumption valve, compared to conventional proportional valves with solenoid actuators. The new aspect of a rigid connection of MSM Materials enables an absorption of tension as well as compressive forces. To realize an applicable controlling valve, a simple and effective controlling strategy has been implemented. Due to the stabilizing effect of the MSM element, an accurate controlling of the valve stroke and the usage for example as a pressure-, mass-flow or temperature-controlling valve was made possible. Furthermore, some potential applications in pneumatics as well as in hydraulics are presented.
