Abstract

This research focuses on design and experimentally testing of a sealing component featuring magneto-rheological fluid for rotary shafts. The working fluid is a lubricant. From review of previous researches on application of MR fluid in sealing, a configuration of a rotary MRF seal for a working lubricant is proposed. Optimal design and modeling of the MRF seal are then realized based on finite element analysis. From optimal results, MRF seal prototypes are manufactured and experimentally tested. The results are then compared with counterpart conventional lip-seals.
