A bearing assembly includes a bearing formed to at least radially guide a shaft, a seat for the bearing, an annular gap around the bearing between the bearing and the seat that allows the bearing to undergo a movement perpendicular to an axis of the bearing, a magnetorheological fluid in the gap and a magnetic field source configured to subject the magnetorheological fluid to a magnetic field. Also, a method of controlling a strength of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field source to control a viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid and affect an operating condition of the bearing assembly. |
