MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL TORQUE TRANSMISSION DEVICE, THE USE THEREOF, AND MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL TORQUE TRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a magnetorheological torque transmission device. The same has two device parts rotatable relative to each other about a rotational axis (R) through a torque transmission gap (2), which can be filled and/or is filled at least partially with a magnetorheological material, and is characterized in that the magnetic circuit system of the torque transmission device configured for generating the magnetic flux in the torque transmission gap (2) comprises at least one permanent magnet (4) in addition to a solenoid (1). Advantageously said magnetic circuit system further comprises at least one non-magnetic insert (5, 6).
