Analysis of Established Thermal Conditions for Magnetorheological Clutch for Different Loading Conditions

This paper presents the results of simulation studies of thermal conditions controllable magnetorheological fluid clutch. In the first part, the construction of a prototype clutch, the CAD model and the results of measurements of the time for a variety of power clutch, realized on the test bench. An analysis of power losses in the clutch for the different states of operation. Describes the boundary conditions for finite element calculations for steady state operation of thermal coupling. Subsequently, the results of simulations carried out in the FEMM 4.2. The work summarized statement of the simulation results and the conclusions.
