The dependence of the dielectric characteristics of electrorheological fluids of different compositions on the electric field intensity and frequency has been found experimentally. The observed variation of tg{delta} and {epsilon} are attributed to the relaxations between polarization and electric conductivity inducing heavy structurization in the ERF. ER suspensions find wide application in mechanical engineering, instrument manufacture, motor-car industry, robotics, aerospace technology, and ship-building industry. Perspective developments of valves without moving parts, clamps, brakes and shock absorbers, vibro-protection systems, hydraulic drives, step-by-step motors, two-stage batching devices, clutches, tensioning devices, display units, acoustic lenses, delay units and many others are known.
