We use magnetohydrodynamic levitation as a means to create a soft, elastomeric, solenoid-
driven pump (ESP). We present a theoretical framework and fabrication of a pump designed …

Ferrofluid rotary seals are mechanical contact-free magnetic liquid seals that are
characterised by their simple structure, low friction and ability to hermetically seal. Although …

This paper discusses a new type of hybrid journal bearing in which a magnetorheological
fluid is used in combination with local magnetic fields, such that the hydrodynamic and …

This paper is concerned with the damping performance of a novel dynamic vibration
absorber that exploits the first kind of levitation characteristics of ferrofluid. The dynamic …

Magnetorheological fluids can be used as a smart lubricant as a result of the fact that its
properties can be changed with the use of a magnetic field. Local flow resistance and local …

This paper focus on the magnetic fluid levitation force received by a permanent magnet
immersed in magnetic fluid under the magnetic field created by the magnet itself. A more …

A driblet of magnetic fluids (MFs) falls on an annular magnet, forming a closed liquid ring.
The magnetized MFs can produce liquid support due to magnetostatic force. The air cushion …

Research in the field of tribo-mechatronics has been gaining popularity in recent decades.
The objective of the current research is to improve static/dynamics characteristics of …

Levitation of a spherical magnet in a magnetic fluid drop on the horizontal plane is
investigated experimentally. Two cases are considered: without and with the uniform vertical …

In this paper, the self-levitation of cylindrical magnets wrapped by shells immersed in
magnetic fluid (MF) is studied. The calculation formula of the magnetic fluid levitation force …
