A new perspective on nano-electro-mechanics opens up if one considers how the electronic spin - in addition to (or instead of) the electronic charge - couples to mechanical degrees of freedom [1, 2]. Such a possibility naturally occurs if magnetic materials are employed to build nano-mechanical devices. Nano-mechanics induced by magnetic exchange forces become possible as a result of spin-mechanical coupling. This talk presemts a short review of recent theoretical results illustrating the above mentioned phenomena in magnetic shuttle devices.
