  • Tunable slip yoke damper assembly
    Patent number: 6623364
    Abstract: The damper assembly, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, can be tuned to different frequency to dampen the vibrations of the driveline assembly. The damper assembly comprises an outer housing, an inner housing and a recess defined between the inner housing and the outer housing. A magnetorheological elastomer is housed in the recess. In order to change the elastic modulus of the magnetorheological elastomer at least one magnetic means is provided in the contact with the inner housing. The magnetic means are capable of being rotated either towards the inner house or away from the inner house such that the elastic modulus of the magnetorheological elastomer is either increased or decreased.

  • Tunable slip yoke damper assembly
    Publication number: 20030036432
    Abstract: The damper assembly, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, can be tuned to different frequency to dampen the vibrations of the driveline assembly. The damper assembly comprises an outer housing, an inner housing and a recess defined between the inner housing and the outer housing. A magetorheological elastomer is housed in the recess. In order to change the modulus of the magetorheological elastomer at least one magnetic means is provided in the contact with the inner housing. The magnetic means are capable of being rotated either towards the inner house or away from the inner house such that the modulus of the magetorheological elastomer is either increased or decreased.
