A functional fluid that enables electronic control of fluid viscosity!
"ER fluid" is a fluid that solidifies when a voltage is applied. Under an electric field, particles align, resulting in an increase in apparent viscosity. When the electric field is applied, viscosity increases, and when the electric field is removed, viscosity decreases, which is the observed effect. Additionally, utilizing the characteristics of ER fluids, various applications such as mechanical elements and vibration control are expected to be developed. [Features] - Stress (fluid viscosity) can be electronically controlled by the strength of the voltage. - Applying an electric field → viscosity increases. - Removing the electric field → viscosity decreases. - Viscosity changes are rapid, highly responsive, and reversible. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.
