Results for tag: "Magnetorheological Fluid"

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are advanced materials that are used in a variety of applications, such as dampers, clutches, brakes, and valves. MR fluids are composed of a suspension of micron-sized particles in a carrier fluid, and their properties can be changed in response to an applied magnetic field. This makes them ideal for use in applications where the response time needs to be fast and the force needs to be precisely controlled. MR fluids are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical. In the automotive industry, MR fluids are used in suspension systems to improve ride comfort and handling. In the aerospace industry, they are used in aircraft landing gear to reduce shock and vibration. In the medical industry, MR fluids are used in prosthetics and orthotics to improve comfort and performance. Some companies in the MR fluid market include Lord Corporation, Magna International, and Dow Corning. Show Less Read more
