This paper presents a novel design concept of a miniaturized Magneto-Rheological (MR) clutch. The design uses a set of spur gears as a means to control the torque. MR clutches with various configurations such as disk-, drum-, and armature-based have in the past been reported in the literature. Howev…
This paper presents an improved design approach for the construction of a Magneto-Rheological (MR) clutch intended to be used in a prospective 5 degrees of freedom robot. The MR clutch features embedded Hall sensors for intrinsic torque control. After a brief description of the MR clutch principles,…
