Abstract:
Magnetorheological fluid is a hydrocarbon-based

MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUID
fluid formulated for general use in controllable,
energy-dissipating applications such as shocks,
dampers and brakes.
MR fluid is a suspension of micron-sized,
magnetizable particle in a carrier fluid. When
exposed to a magnetic field, the rheology of MR
fluid reversibly and instantaneously changes from a
free flowing liquid to a semi-solid with controllable
yield strength. Altering the strength of the applied
magnetic field precisely and proportionally controls
the consistency or yield strength of the fluid.
MR fluid can be used in valve mode (fluid flowing
through an orifice) or in shear mode (fluid shearing
between two surfaces). In the absence of a magnetic
field, MR fluid flows freely or allows free
movement. Upon application of a magnetic field,
the fluid’s particles align with the direction of the
field in chain-like fashion, thereby restricting the
fluid’s movement within the gap in proportion to
the strength of the magnetic field.

MR Technology Advantages
System based on MR technologies offer several
advantages over alternative feedback devices:
Compact, energy efficient design, high
torque density per unit volume;
MR Solutions Benefit
Highly precise and nearly instantaneous
control. The responsiveness of MR fluid is under
10 milliseconds and its resistive force can be
almost infinitely varied over a range. This
controlled variability in force makes this product
possible.
