The control of angular velocities in the fixed-axis rotation of rigid bodies is crucial for ensuring the safety and functionality of civil structures and mechanical systems. In this research, a novel enhanced torsional eddy current damper (ETECD) is proposed to effectively control the angular velocities of rigid bodies within confined installation spaces. At first, an estimation approach is developed to determine the damping coefficient of the eddy current damper (ECD) within limited installation space. Furthermore, we utilize a gearbox to enhance the damping performance of the ECD in confined spaces. To establish the framework for the design of the proposed ETECD, the motion equation and solution of the rotating body are derived. By analytically presenting the approximate solution for the responses of a rotating body with a torsional viscous damper, the required range of the torsional damping coefficient is derived. This range ensures compliance to velocity restrictions under linearly angle-related torques, guiding the design of the ETECD. The ETECD, comprising two cylindrical torsional eddy current dampers (ECDs) and a motion-amplified gearbox, is designed and tested for a rotating body. Numerical examples and experimental tests are carried out to validate the performance of the proposed ETECD. The calculated damping coefficients and predicted control performance in the numerical examples agree well with the experimental results. Notably, under the minimum and maximum torques, the terminal angular velocity (TAV) of the rotating body can be significantly reduced by 70.76% and 58.99%, respectively. The proposed work emphasizes the potential of the ETECD as an effective and economic method in reducing angular velocities for rotating bodies.
