Abstract

A servo actuator with a valve using MR (Magneto-Rheological) fluid is proposed for fluid control systems. The MR fluid is well known as a functional fluid whose apparent viscosity is controlled by the applied magnetic field strength. The pressure in the MR cylinder can be controlled by the applied magnetic field strength. Good points of the MR cylinder are more simple, compact and reliable structure than a conventional oil hydraulic cylinder. The experimental results show that the MR cylinder could be used as a servo actuator.
