A reference wire coil identical to the sensing wire coil is connected therewith. A demodulator is connected to each of the coils sends an impedance difference signal to a feedback controller connected to controllable dispensing apparatus for adding a calculated amount of replenishing fluid to the magnetorheological fluid. The system may be incorporated into an integrated fluid management module having apparatus for receiving and replenishing spent magnetorheological fluid and a sensor system in accordance with the present invention for use in a magnetorheological finishing system having a carrier wheel.

    摘要: A system for magnetorheological finishing of a substrate. An integrated fluid management module (IFMM) provides dynamic control of the rheological fluid properties of the MR fluid on a conventional MR finishing apparatus, and dispensing of the fluid to the wheel. A magnetically shielded chamber charged with MR fluid is in contact with the carrier wheel. A transverse line removes the spent MR fluid from the wheel as the ribbon leaves the work zone. Replenishment fluid is added to the chamber via a dripper, and preferably an electric mixer agitates MR fluid in the chamber. A grooved magnetically-shielded insert at the exit of the chamber forms a polishing ribbon on the carrier wheel as the wheel is turned. A sensor sensitive to concentration of magnetic particles provides a signal for control of MR fluid properties, particularly, water content in the MR fluid. Means is provided for cooling fluid within the chamber.

    摘要: An arcuate, preferably cylindrical, magnetic shunt bar supports a plurality of pin magnets having alternate north and south orientations, defining a ring-shaped array of magnets of alternating orientation. The magnet free ends opposite the shunt bar are positioned to conform closely to the shape of a surface to be sealed, forming a narrow gap therebetween containing a multi-polar magnetic field extending beyond the free ends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the surface. The axes of the magnets may be disposed at any desired angular orientation to the surface. Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) in the gap is magnetically stiffened and held as a dynamic seal. The arrangement is useful as a shaft seal, wherein the seal surface passes axially through the array, and also as a wiper for MRF from a carrier surface wherein the surface passes by the array.

    摘要: A magnetic wiper for removing magnetorheological fluid from a carrier surface includes a horseshoe magnet having north and south polepieces elongated in a first direction orthogonal to a second direction of magnetic flux in the magnet. The polepieces are generally parallel at their free ends in the first direction and are preferably arcuate such that the inner polepiece forms a trough for receiving magnetorheological fluid removed from the carrier surface and conveying it to an exit tube. The free ends are shaped to conform closely to the shape of the carrier surface, forming a narrow gap therebetween containing a magnetic fringing field extending beyond the free ends. Magnetorheological fluid conveyed into the gap by the carrier surface is magnetically stiffened to a very stiff paste which is retained in the gap by the fringing field, forming a dynamic liquid seal such that additional magnetorheological fluid carried by the carrier surface is wiped away from the surface and into the trough formed by the inner polepiece. Thus, the magnet forms an effective remover of magnetorheological fluid from the carrier surface without any mechanical contact with the surface.

    摘要: A system for determining magnetic permeability of a material. Two electrical inductors formed as primary and secondary concentric coils share a common magnetic core space. A first AC voltage applied to the primary coil creates a magnetic flux in the core proportional to the magnetic permeability of the material. The magnetic flux induces an AC voltage in the secondary coil indicative of the apparent magnetic permeability of the sample. The apparent permeability is corrected for conductivity by imposing a second AC voltage and resistor in series across first and second electrodes disposed in the material. When the material is a magnetorheological fluid, the magnetic permeability is proportional to the concentration of magnetic particles in the sample and can be back-calculated from the amplitude of the secondary voltage signal.

    摘要: A system for determining the magnetic permeability of a material is provided. Two electrical inductors formed as primary and secondary concentric coils share a common magnetic core space. An AC voltage applied to the primary coil creates a magnetic flux in the core proportional to the magnetic permeability of a sample of the material positioned within the core space. The magnetic flux induces an AC voltage in the secondary coil indicative of the sample magnetic permeability. When the material is a magnetorheological fluid, the magnetic permeability is proportional to the concentration of magnetic particles in the sample and can be back-calculated from the amplitude of the secondary voltage signal. Sensitivity and resolution can be increased by using two identical sets of coils wherein a reference material forms a core for the primary set and the MR fluid sample forms a core for the secondary set.
