A Study on Magnetic Circuit Design of a Torque Controllable Magnetorheological Fluid Clutch

The structure and working principles of torque controllable magnetorheological fluid clutch are firstly introduced. This paper accordingly proposes a theory and method of designing the magnetic circuit of the device.A calculation example is provided and electromagnetic finite element analysis is employed to simulate the magnetic circuit for purpose of validation.The conclusion is highly instructive in optimizing the structure and parameters of the clutch,and in enhancing its work efficiency.
