Abstract:
A magnetorheological transmission device and a method for influencing the coupling intensity of two components, which can be coupled and whose coupling intensity can be influenced. To influence the coupling intensity, a channel is provided, which contains a magnetorheological medium with magnetically polarizable particles. A magnetic field generating unit generates a magnetic field in the channel in order to influence the magnetorheological medium in the channel. An outer component encloses an inner component. At least one of the two components is mounted via a separate bearing. A distance between the outer and inner components is at least 10 times as great as a typical mean diameter of the magnetically polarizable particles in the magnetorheological medium. The magnetic field of the magnetic field generating unit can be applied to the channel in order to selectively chain together the particles and/or release them.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of influencing a coupling intensity of at least two components, the method comprising:\n providing a magnetorheological transmission device for coupling the at least two components to one another with a variable coupling intensity, the transmission device having at least one channel containing a magneto-rheological medium with magnetically polarizable particles; generating, with at least one magnetic field generating unit, a magnetic field in the channel in order to influence the magnetorheological medium in the channel; providing at least one rotating body in the channel or a protrusion projecting from one of the components into the channel, with a free distance between the rotating body or the protrusion and one of the components being greater than twice a diameter of a largest magnetically polarizable particle in the magnetorheological medium; providing at least one acute-angled region containing the magneto-rheological medium between the rotating body and at least one of the components, and applying the magnetic field of the magnetic field generating unit to the acute-angled region to selectively chain particles to one another and to selectively wedge or release the particles with the rotating body.
