The invention relates to a method and a device for testing magnetic
viscosity of magnetic liquid, and the method comprises the following steps: taking a permanent
magnet as a
magnetic source, and restricting the continuous adjustment of a
magnetic field to adjust a magnetic conductive rotating ring to adjust a radial adjustable gap up and down along a rotating shaft, thereby achieving the regulation of
magnetic reluctance and
magnetic flux of a
magnetic loop; and further adjusting the strength of the
magnetic field applied on a magnetic liquid material sample, starting a speed-regulating motor, then driving the magnetic conductive rotating ring to rotate through the rotating shaft, leading the magnetic liquid to be acted by shearing, converting to rotational torque and rotational angular speed, measuring the
magnetic flux on the
magnetic loop through a magnetic fluxmeter and finally calculating the magnetic
viscosity and
magnetic flux density according to a formula. The testing device comprises the speed-regulating motor, a torque and rotational speed sensor, the rotating shaft, a non-magnetic centering component, a magnetic conductive stationary ring, the magnetic conductive rotating ring, a permanent magnetic ring and the like, wherein the magnetic conductive stationary ring, the permanent magnetic ring and the magnetic conducive rotting ring form the
magnetic loop with a constant gap and the adjustable gap, and the constant gap is used for forming the uniform
magnetic field for restricting the material sample and applying the shearing force on the material sample. The method and the device can accurately determine the critical working magnetic field, realize the measurement of the low-temperature magnetic
viscosity, and provide a basis for
optimal design of devices for sealing, damping
vibration attenuation and the like, and has the advantages of no impacts on the temperature of the sample, convenient use, small
power consumption and the like.
