VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DAMPER ELEMENT COMPOSED OF ANNULAR MAGNETS AND MAGNETIC FLUID

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the development of a damper with excellent characteristics. The vibration characteristics of the damper element composed of two annular permanent magnets and magnetic fluid are studied experimentally using a vibration testing system. The vibration amplitude of the upper magnet-magnetic fluid system is measured with an optical displacement detector system. It was found that the element of two annular permanent magnets adsorbed magnetic fluid is very effective over the wide frequency range.
