Abstract
The present invention relates to a magnetic actuation method according to which a magnetized mobile () is directed by means of at least one magnetic element () placed opposite said magnetized mobile, characterized in that the preferred direction (or easy axis) of magnetization is made to turn at every point of said element by applying at least one mechanical constraint to said magnetic element(s) (), causing anisotropy within said element and thus moving the magnetized mobile in a preferred linear direction or causing the same to rotate.
