LORD MR Rotary Brake (RD-2087-01)
RD-2087-01 is a compact fully proportional magneto-rheological (MR) fluid brake. The LORD MR Rotary Brake is unsurpassed in its combination of controllability, responsiveness, and functionality. These smooth-acting units require substantially less power to operate than eddy current or magnetic hysteresis brakes. As a magnetic field is applied to the MR fluid inside the brake, the characteristics of the fluid change to provide increased torque output with practically infinite precision and in under 10-millisecond response time. This device features a simple, yet rugged design with high torque, and quiet operation. This MR brake is especially well suited for application investigation in a wide variety of areas.
