Fluid Clutches TRIZ Cases
- Electropermanent Magnet Clutch Assembly for Low-Power Torque Control
Electropermanent magnets let a magnetorheological clutch hold and vary torque with pulsed power instead of continuous current.
- Magnetorheological Fluid Clutch With Anti-Sedimentation and High Torque
Blades remix settled magnetorheological fluid while combined permanent and electromagnetic fields raise clutch torque and stability.
- Viscous Fluid Clutch Venting and Valve Layout for Quiet Startup
Centrifugal and one-way valves keep the work chamber nearly empty at rest, reducing startup coupling, noise, and wasted energy.
- Viscous Coupling Wiper Stop for Wear-Limited Fluid Scraping
A pre-positioned stop lets the wiper scrape rotor fluid efficiently, then limits contact after wear to reduce viscous coupling failure.
- Low-Permeability MR Clutch Drums for Torque Bandwidth
Thin low-permeability drums reduce MR clutch inertia while electromagnets sustain torque transmission for faster, more controllable response.
- Viscous Clutch Pump and Wiper Assembly for Morning Sickness Control
Passive pump and wiper stages use slip-driven centrifugal flow and an arc-shaped wall to limit fluid migration and improve clutch response.
- Fluid Fan Coupling Oil Scraping for Faster Low-Speed Response
An oil scraping mechanism on the drive disk boosts oil supply at low fan speed, speeding torque transfer and reducing overheating risk.
- Fluid Friction Clutch Supply Pump Shear Gap Design
Active supply pump pre-fills working chamber via shear gap flow, reducing fluid quantity and response time compared to centrifugal filling.
