Electronic control device for magnetorheological fluid (MRF) brake, has evaluation electronics unit and controller, and shear stress sensor that is accommodated in MRF brake, for measuring shear stress of MRF brake

摘要

The electronic control device comprises a shear stress sensor (1), an evaluation electronics unit (2) and a controller (3). The shear stress sensor is accommodated in the MRF brake, for measuring the shear stress of the MRF brake. The evaluation electronics unit is attached to the shear stress sensor, for producing analog and digital signals equivalent to the shear stress. The controller is provided for outputting a manipulated variable with respect to the change in current of a coil (6).
