ANALYSIS OF THE POTENTIAL USAGE OF SELECTED MAGNETIC FLUIDS IN THRUST SLIDE BEARINGS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2016, Vol 269, Issue 5
Abstract
Magnetic fluids are substances whose rheological properties can be actively influenced by treatment with a magnetic field. Two main types of magnetic fluids can be distinguished: ferromagnetic fluids, and magnetorheological fluids. Ferrofluids are mostly used in sealing engineering, whereas magnetorheological fluids are usually applied in controlled systems for the dissipation of mechanical energy, like brakes and dampers. The ability to control the rheological properties of magnetic fluids opens new horizons for development in machine design, among others in the areas of bearing engineering. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the rheological characteristics of selected magnetic fluids with a focus on the possible areas of the application of these substances in bearing engineering.<br/><br/>
