Analysis and Design of MRF Elevator Traction Transmission Device

Abstract:

A magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) elevator traction transmission is a device to transmit torque by the shear force of MR fluid. The development and principle of MRF transmission device are presented. Then the design method of the MRF transmission is investigated theoretically. The model of the torque transmitted by the MR fluid within the brake is derived to provide the theoretical foundation in the MRF elevator traction transmission design of the brake. Based on this model, after mathematical manipulation, the calculations of the structure and width of the MRF elevator traction transmission are yielded.
