In this paper the laboratory stand, designed to be used as a part of the Laboratory of Machine Design and Research which is part of the subject Fundamentals of Machine Design, is presented. Originally the laboratory stand was designed as an element of one of the research projects, and the adopted for didactic purposes. The students have the chance to get familiar with unique type of fluids controlled by the magnetic field and their application in the special purpose devices. The laboratory stand allows to conduct individual measurements of the torque, for different coil currents which generate the magnetic field. In the final report students provide the results with the individual analysis of the system parameters.
