Development of a novel high-speed actuation mechanism using a magneto-rheological fluid clutch and its application to a fluid control valve

Abstract: In many dynamic systems, such as vehicles, engine air and fuel control systems, fluid power systems, industrial robotics, and testing machines, high-speed actuators are necessary to achieve efficient system operation and high bandwidth performance. This article introduces a new actuation mechanism to enable high-speed actuation. The premise for this actuation mechanism is to momentarily couple a moving component (kinetic energy source) with translational components, which is enabled by a coupling/clutch system… Show more

“…After the period, we decline the voltage to a low rate Uhold to keep maintain state of spool, at the same time avoid the problem of coil heat. The circuit and signal as shown in figure 3 will be imported into the simulation model [8].…”

“…Xiong firstly proposed the design concept of energy coupling actuator (ECA) when he was studying in Purdue [18]. He had already completed mechanical design, modeling, prototyping and experimental testing for the first generation of ECA prototype [19]. However, these works are initial stages of ECA's development and there is plenty of room for upgrading.…”

“…The circuit consists of four electronic switches (Q1-Q4), each of which is connected in parallel with a clamping diode (D1-D4). The power supply is simplified as a voltage source with resistor R in and capacitor C, and the coil sets are simplified as resistance R and inductance L. The transient electric current i and the corresponding electric consumption E elec can be obtained by solving the following equation [19]:…”

“…This mode also provides new insights for enhancing the performance of high-speed on/off valve actuators. Xiong et al [21,22] designed an energy-coupled actuator (ECA) based on the shear mode of MRF and analyzed the performance of first generation of ECA prototype. At a 48 V driving voltage, the ECA can achieve a 1.5 mm stroke within 4.7 ms. Theoretically, the valve's nominal flow rate corresponds to 100 l min −1 @5 bar.…”
