This research focuses on development a speed control system of a rotary load shaft with different loading torque by using a clutch featuring magneto-rheological fluid (MRC). Firstly, a new configuration of a speed control system using MRC is proposed. Modeling of the MRC based speed control system is then derived based on Bingham plastic model of magneto-rheological fluid (MRF). Based on the derived model, an optimal design problem for the system is built and the optimal solution is obtained based on finite element analysis. Performance characteristics of the MRC based speed control system are then experimentally investigated. After that, the MRC based speed control system to control a varying rotary load shaft driven by an AC motor is proposed and a PID controller to control the speed is designed and implemented. Experiments on steady speed control of the rotary load shaft is then obtained and presented with remark discussions.
