ABSTRACT:
A magnetic friction device for permitting one machine member to be moved relative to another by applying a predetermined force and for holding one member in a fixed position when the force is discontinued. One member is magnetically susceptible and has a smooth surface interfacing with but slightly spaced from a surface on the other member. The other member's surface has one or more recesses in which there are magnetic disks of a polymer impregnated with magnetic particles. The disks are attracted to the smooth surface to produce a design controlled predetermined frictional force.
