Roller guide with speed dependent stiffness |
摘要 |
A guide device (26) for use in an elevator system includes an elevator guide roller (30) having a hardness that varies depending on a speed of rotation of the guide roller (30). In a disclosed example, a magnetorheological fluid within the guide roller (30) changes viscosity depending on the speed of rotation. One example includes varying an influence of a first magnetic field on the magnetorheological fluid to change the viscosity. |
