This paper presents an experimental observation of the rotation of a magnetostrictive motor about an arbitrary axis using a Terfenol-D rod and a helical magnetic field. Mangetostrictive motors consist of a solenoidal coil that generates a longitudinal magnetic field, a toroidal coil that generates a circumferential magnetic field, a Terfenol-D rod, a stator, a rotor, and so on. Two experiments were conducted in order to confirm the motors rotation about an arbitrary axis. The first measures the twist angle of the Terfenol-D rod and the second measures the tilt angle of the rotor with respect to the z-axis. The twist angle can be determined by the strain value of the strain gauge attached to the Terfenol-D rod. The tilt angle was obtained using a new trajectory tracking method with five cameras. When the ratio between the circumferential magnetic field and the longitudinal magnetic field changes, the twist and tilt angles also change.
