Paper title: SIMPLIFIED APPROACH FOR CALCULATING THE FORCE OF A FERROFLUIDIC ACTUATOR
Author(s): RADU OLARU, CAMELIA PETRESCU,
Abstract: This paper presents an approach to establish the analytical formula for the force acting
on a non-magnetic disc plunged into a ferrofluid, due to the effect of a magnetic field
gradient generated by the magnetic inductor of the actuator. The expression of the force
acting on a magnetizable body placed in a magnetic field was used for the particular
conditions imposed by the actuator configuration. The magnetic field distribution in the
inductor core and in the ferrofluid was determined and the expressions of the force were
obtained in the case of intense and moderate magnetic fields.
