Abstract:
The invention relates to a vibration damper for belt tensioning systems comprising a piston which is rotationally mounted in a housing and which divides the housing into a first and second chamber filled with a hydraulic fluid. The first and second chambers are interconnected via a throttle point and the volume ratio of the first and second chambers changes when the piston moves in relation to the housing. The aim of the invention is to provide a vibration damper having a variable damping effect over the entire crankshaft speed range. To this end, the throttle point is configured as at least one annular gap (22), whereby an electrorheological and/or magnetorheological fluid is contained in the first and second chambers (16', 16'' ) as well as in the at least one annular gap (22), and electrically controllable capacitor surfaces and/or coil arrangements are assigned to the peripheral surfaces (14', 20) of the annular gap (22). In addition, the control is effected according to a measured variable representing the belt tension.
Abstract:
A controllable pneumatic apparatus (400), comprising a braking device (420) coupled to a pneumatic actuator (27) for allowing precise motion control (e.g., stopping at any point along its stroke). The braking device includes a working space having a preferably porous matrix structure (30) disposed therein. A field responsive medium (28) is retained in the matrix structure. In operation, activation of a field generator (80) in the device generates a field to act on the field responsive medium to change its apparent viscosity thereby producing a braking force to control motion of the pneumatic actuator. A braking device is also described which has spacing means for maintaining a constant gap dimension of the working space, thus preventing excessive compression of the matrix.
Abstract:
A movable clamping element (56) engages a workpiece, whereby a spring (86) is compressed, limiting the amount of clamping force applied to the workpiece. A retainer nut (88) is selectively moved through the use of the tool to a selectable position along a threaded shaft (80) to adjust the spring compression, hence the clamping force. After initial setup, an electrochemical actuator (110) is actuated to melt a polymer, forcing a piston assembly (118, 120) and a bearing (84) to shift the threaded shaft (80) longitudinally against the spring, moving the clamping elements apart a short distance to release or receive a workpiece. The electrochemical actuator is then deactivated, allowing the spring to expand, clamping the workpiece between the clamping elements with the selected force.

Abstract:
A pressure-operated linear actuator uses Electro-Rheological (ER) fluid as the working liquid, with a single flow path between the inlet and outlet of the pump (5) and the pressures generated within two or more ER valves (11, 12, 13, 14) connected in series within this flow path are applied to two or more pistons (9, 10) acting in opposition.
Abstract:
Electro-hydraulic converter (12) for actuating hydraulic valves and regulators, in which at least two hydraulic adjustable resistors (18, 22), in the form of capacitive components, are arranged in a hydraulic bridge circuit (16), an electro-rheological liquid passing through said resistors. Each resistor (18) is provided with a throttling gap (45) formed between mutually-facing contact surfaces (41, 43) to which a high voltage can be applied; in said gap the circulating electro-rheologic liquid undergoes variations in viscosity according to the size of the electrostatic fields present, thereby causing a variation in the hydraulic resistors. The electric control signals can thus be converted into hydraulic output signals, with indication of the sign, without the need for moving parts and with a low power consumption.
