This paper has two main goals in the development of a novel flow-mode magnetorheological brake (MRB): (1) produce a mathematical model of a flow-mode MRB and (2) predict the torque density of the proposed MRB compared to the other type of MRB. In this design, the flow mode MRB is made by screw pump to make the Magnetorheological Fluid (MRF) flow through the radial and annular channel. The serpentine path flux is developed in the proposed MRB to make the annular channel an active region as well. With the proposed design concept, the work of a pure flow-mode serpentine path MRB can be accomplished. In this study, Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) is used to calculate the magnetic field applied to the active regions and analytical approach used to obtain the output damping torque. The simulation results show that the magnetic fluxes flow through the radial channel and annular channel as well. The radial and annular channel is activated, which led to higher output damping torque. The mathematical modelling shows that the helical angle of the screw pump significantly affects the damping torque. The results show that the output damping torque density can be adjusted from 42.18 N/mm2 in the off-state with 0 rpm to around 40,518.96 N/mm2 at 20 rpm. The torque density of the proposed MRB is higher than the shear mode MRB.
