Patent attributes
An active vibration controller includes: a housing; a first magnetic member installed on the side of the housing having a toric shape; a movable member including a second magnetic member that is substantially coaxial with the first magnetic member and disposed inside the toric shape of the first magnetic member; an exciting coil that generates a magnetic field in accordance with an intensity of a current supplied thereto; and a magnetic viscoelastic elastomer that has a magnetic viscoelastic property varying in accordance with a magnitude of the magnetic field from the exciting coil between the first and second tip portions, and connects the first magnetic core to the second magnetic core. The magnetic viscoelastic elastomer has a region having a non-magnetic property between the first and the second magnetic cores.
