ABSTRACT:
A housing for a magnetofluidic sensor where the sensor has a plurality of drive magnet assemblies, magnetic fluid and an inertial body. The housing has a plurality of ports for securing respective drive magnet assemblies, such that a portion of each drive magnet assembly is positioned within the housing proximate the magnetic fluid. Each drive magnet assembly includes a magnetic field source for creating a magnetic field within the magnetic fluid for acting upon the inertial body. Each drive magnet assembly also includes a sensing element for sensing movement of the inertial body within the magnetic fluid.
