摘要： A magnetically-responsive device (100) having a magnetic seal (160,170) to retain magnetically responsive material within a defined space (150) is provided. The magnetically-responsive device (100) has a shaft (110), a rotor (130), a magnetic field generator (145), a magnetically-responsive medium and a magnetic seal (160,170). The seal (160,170) is preferably a non-contact seal (160,170) that does not deteriorate over time and generates little to no resistance.

摘要： Torque generating devices, systems, and/or related methods are disclosed. In one aspect, a torque generating device (100) may include a housing (102), at least one top and one bottom pole (108), at least one side pole (110), at least two rotors (116) for rotating within the housing, a shaft (104) supported by bearings (111), at least a first stator (120) disposed between portions of the at least two rotors (116), magnetically responsive (MR) material disposed within the housing (102) and at least partially surrounding the first stator (120) and the at least two rotors (116), and a coil (112) for generating a magnetic field, wherein an amount of torque generated by the torque generating device (100) increases in proportion to an amount of electrical current supplied to the coil (112). In another aspect, a method of generating torque may include providing a torque generating device (100) and rotating the at least two rotors (116).
