MRC Design
Magneto-Rheological Clutch
MRC Design
The magneto-rheological torque (TMR) of MRC è estimated at the design stage based on the geometrical configuration and the proprieties of the magneto-rheological fluid
Magneto – Rheological Clutch Types
MRC – CT vs. MRC – DCM
Magneto-Rheological Clutch Cylindrical Type (MRC – CT) –> Designed & Tested in TE project coordinated by A.I. Bosioc:
Magneto-Rheological Clutch – Disk Modular Construction (MRC – DCM) –> Designed & Tested in 723PED2022 project:
The main parts of the MRC device are following:
- (1) magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) à operating under high temperature range conditions
-
(2) magnetic circuit including the coil and magnetic house
The disc-type MRC –> the most common design
- (i) easy to manufacture and
- (ii) leads to reasonably good results in terms of weight and compactness
