The invention discloses a super 
magnetostrictive actuator. The 
actuator comprises a shell and a base arranged at the bottom of the shell; a 
magnetic field generating device, a cooling device, a pre-tightening device and a positioning device are arranged in the shell 1; and the 
actuator also comprises a detection device used for carrying out performance detection on the super 
magnetostrictive actuator. According to the invention, a 
water cooling mechanism and a phase-change material are combined for carrying out 
temperature control, the 
water cooling mechanism is used for cooling the outer sideof a coil, and the phase-change material is used for cooling the inner side of the coil, so that the output precision of the giant 
magnetostrictive actuator is improved, and long-time stable work isguaranteed; the size is small, the weight is light, the output displacement is large, and the output force is large; the pre-pressure and the bias 
magnetic field are adjustable; the output displacement is big and output force 
linearity is good; the response speed is high, the control precision is high, and the 
eddy current groove can further improve the control precision of the output displacement; and meanwhile, a test 
system composed of a sensor, a 
signal amplification device and a computer is used for detecting the driving performance of a driver, so the test time is short, and the 
test efficiency and the test precision are high.
