3.1 Industrial applications
This application exploits a unique property of a ferrofluid subjected to a field: it is both liquid and rigid. This property means that the seal is both liquid (i.e. low-friction) and watertight. In general, the magnetic field is produced by a ring magnet with an axial field, placed in the stator, which closes in the shaft so that the field is radial in the air gap (figure 7...
