Abstract:
An admixture of thermoplastic polymer (such as thermoplastic elastomer), cured elastomeric polymeric material (such as thermoset elastomer), and magnetizable (ferrite) powder provide a thermoplastic elastomer featuring a relatively high loading of a magnetizable material. The admixed magnetizable thermoplastic elastomer composition, optionally cured, provides robust material properties along with good forming properties for molding magnetic components. This material is advantageous for a magnetic target wheel in an encoder.
Abstract:
Rubber compositions filled with an unusually high content of solid magnetizable particles such as iron oxide or strontium ferrite but having great resistance to crack initiation and crack growth. This allows generation of strongly magnetized areas in rubber articles built with a rubber composition according this invention. This gives—also in those applications where a large distance between a row of magnetized areas and a sensor is necessary due to deformation—well-reproducible and well-recognizable signals despite existence of disturbing magnetic fields. The magnetizable particles are bonded to a rubber matrix by a bonding agent, namely an organo-functional silane.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a binder carrier containing at least a magnetic particle and a binder resin, in which the binder resin comprises at least a copolymer containing an ethylenic unsaturated nitrile and preferably an optional silicone-modified acrylic resin.
