Development of Shear-type MR Brakes and Their Application to Ankle-Foot Orthoses

摘要：

A brake in which the Magnetorheologic fluid(MRF) is used has a simple structure and superior responsibility. Therefore, MR brake is expected to perform a good adaptability for human-coexistence system. Being appliedas ankle-foot orthosis, however, conventional MR brake is too large to fit. Then, in this study we developed a shear-type MR brake with multi-layer disks and minute gaps (50 micrometers) to realize compactness and high performance. This paper deals with the development of a shear type compact MR brake and a new controllable ankle-foot orthosis with this brake.
