An actuation assembly 10 includes a first shaft 44 comprising a first end 64 disposed opposite a second end 62. The actuation assembly further includes a second shaft 24 with a first end 70 disposed opposite a second end 72. The first end 70 of the second shaft 24 is disposed within the second end 62 of the first shaft 44 such that the first end 70 of the second shaft 24 can move relative the second end 62 of the first shaft 44. A fluid chamber 54 formed between the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 24 at the second end of the first shaft. Magnetorheologic fluid 56 is disposed inside the fluid chamber and a magnetic field generating coil 60 is disposed around the second end of the first shaft 44 and the first end 24 of the second shaft.
