Abstract
A controllable rotary brake includes two non-magnetically permeable isolating rings, a shaft, an even number of magnetic field generating portions, at least one resistance disc, and at least one magneto-rheological fluid layer. The non-magnetically permeable isolating rings are spaced apart from each other in an axial direction, and each has a bottom wall. An even number of penetrating holes are formed on the bottom wall. The shaft is rotatably inserted in and adapted to pivot relative to the non-magnetically permeable isolating rings. Two ends of each magnetic field generating portion are tightly fitted to the corresponding penetrating holes. The resistance disc is sleeved on the shaft and is spaced apart from one of the non-magnetically permeable isolating rings. The magneto-rheological fluid layer fills between the resistance disc and one of the non-magnetically permeable isolating rings and contacts the resistance disc and one end of each magnetic field generating portion.
