The invention discloses a magnetic-suspending rotary drumfluid damp measuring apparatus which comprises a motor, a two-dimensional translation support, a cylinder, a rotation speed measuring and controlling instrument, a magnetic-suspending rotary drum, a force moment determinator, a tensile wire, a thin rod, a magnetic field controller, a thermometer, a sealed case and a tray. The motor drives the cylinder to rotate, the rotation speed measuring and controlling instrument controls the rotation speed of the cylinder, the magnetic-suspending rotary drum suspends in a fluid under the effect of a magnetic field produced by the magnetic field controller and is located outside the cylinder, a central shaft is coaxial with the cylinder, the rotating cylinder drives the fluid between the cylinder and the magnetic-suspending rotary drum to rotate, the rotating fluid drives the magnetic-suspending rotary drum to rotate, the thin rod fixed to the magnetic-suspending rotary drum rotates simultaneously, so that the tensile wire wound around the thin rod is slowly wound, finally the force moment of the tensile wire and the force moment of a fluid damp are balanced to make the magnetic-suspending rotary drum stop rotating, and damp coefficients of the fluid are calculated according to the rotation speed, the rotating force moment and other parameters. The magnetic-suspending rotary drumfluid damp measuring apparatus can be used in the field of locomotive manufacturing, aerospace and the like.
