The Experimental Research of the Parallel Multi-channel Cylindraceous Electrorheological Valve

The factors which influence the pressure of fluid in the Electro-rheological (ER) valve are analyzed; The kinematic equations of ER Fluid under the electric field are established; The prototype of multi-channel cylindraceous ER valve is manufactured based on the technical requirement of ER valve; The flow characteristics of the fluid in the valve are analyzed by the software of Fluent; The test bench of ER valve is built and the influences of the actuator´s driving ability according to the flow acreage of ER valve are analyzed; The static pressure endurable ability of ER valve and the instantaneous hydraulic pressure endurable ability under the circumstance of high speed flow are studied; The characteristics of hydraulic pressure endurable ability of parallel ER valve are obtained.
