To overcome the existing deficiency in force feedback dataglove, such as poor security, insufficiency of force for feedback, and so on, a passive force actuator based on magnetorheological fluid (MRF) for force feedback dataglove is presented. Utilizing the special properties of the magne- to-rheological fluid that the state can change from fluid to solid-like continuously and reversibly in several milliseconds when exposed to a magnetic field, a passive force actuator was designed. The structure and the principle are introduced. The electromagnetic property of the actuator is analyzed by electromagnetic finite element analysis, on this basis the kinetics model is developed, the output force range is discussed and the preliminary experiment is done. The force feedback dataglove was fabricated by the actuator developed for single finger and the primary experiments were done. The results verify that due to force transmission of the passive force actuator based on MRF by rheological fluid the stability of the output force is increased; the output force can be doubled by using multi-disc structure; in addition, it has the merits of good security, larger extent of force feedback, etc.
