Abstract
Aiming to solve the problem of magnetorheological transmission heat dissipation, this study designs the magnetic circuit of a water-cooling magnetorheological transmission device based on fundamental electromagnetics
theory. Finite element method is used to simulate the magnetic field of the measurement device. Results show that the working magnetic induction can reach 0.56 T when the current is 2.0 A, which can satisfy design
requirements. The intensity of magnetic induction in the work space increases with the increase of excitation current and permeability of magnetically conductive material, whereas intensity decreases with the increase of
work space size. The thickness and cross-sectional dimension of the guidepost group at the heat-dissipating unit have no significant effect on the intensity distribution of magnetic induction of the entire device.
