Abstract

The experimental setup has been developed for laboratory testing of electromechanical energy transducers and rotary magnetorheological (MR) dampers. The design objectives are outlined and the parameters of the key elements of the setup are summarised. The structure of the mechanical and measurement and control systems is presented. Results of functional testing of a newly developed transducer and a MR rotary damper are summarised
