Abstract:
A magnetic device includes a cylindrical outer pole having a central axis and formed of a ferromagnetic material including a circular base and a cylindrical sleeve defining an outwardly opening cylindrical cavity. A reversible magnetic unit located in said cavity includes a cylindrical core having a magnetic axis aligned with the central axis and a normal magnetic polarity in an inactive state. A cylindrical inner pole formed of a ferromagnetic material is operatively coupled to the core and inwardly radially spaced from said sleeve. An annular band between said sleeve and said inner pole formed of a permanent magnetic material has a magnetic polarity transverse to said central axis and magnetically aligned with said normal magnetic polarity of the core whereby an internal magnetic circuit is established in the inactive state through the poles, the core and the permanent magnet to the exclusion of said workpiece. When the polarity of the core is reversed an external circuit is established between the poles for magnetic coupling with the workpiece.
Abstract:
A method of a manufacturing rotating electromagnetic component to have both soft and hard (permanent) magnet regions, in which powder technologies are used to net-shape mold the component. A soft magnet powder material and an insert or powder of a permanent magnet material are compacted to form a rotating electromagnetic body containing soft and hard magnet regions. A partial sintering operation is then performed on the body at a temperature of 1600° F. (about 870° C.) or less, preferably about 1400° F. to 1500° F. (about 760° C. and 830° C.), and most preferably at 1500° F. to at least partially fuse the soft magnet powder materials with the permanent magnet material. The soft powder component of the resulting electromagnetic body is sufficiently fused to exhibit mechanical properties comparable to a fully sintered body (i.e., sintered at 2050° F. (about 1120° C.) or more), but without degrading the magnetic properties of the hard magnet region.

A magnet roller capable of adjusting the height and position of a magnetic force peak after formation of a roller, and easily meeting a requirement to attain a complex magnetic force pattern without significantly increasing the cost. In the magnet roller, at least two kinds of first magnet pieces and second magnet pieces different from each other in orientation characteristic of magnetic powders are fixedly disposed around the outer periphery of a shaft. The first magnet pieces is a magnet piece in which anisotropic magnetic powders are oriented in such a manner to converge from both the side surfaces and the back surface to a specific position on the front surface side. The second magnet pieces are one kind or two or more kinds of magnet pieces such as a magnet piece in which anisotropic magnetic powders are oriented at random, a magnet piece in which anisotropic magnetic powders are uniformly or radially oriented in a specific direction from the back surface side to the front surface side, and a magnet piece using isotropic magnetic powders with no orientation characteristic.
Abstract:
A molding assembly for producing a magnetic development roller having relatively precise magnetic development fields for use in an electrostatographic reproduction machine to develop a latent image recorded on a photoconductive member of the machine. The molding assembly includes a cylindrical member having a first end, a second end, a first radius, and a shell portion. The shell portion includes an outer surface, and an inner surface defining a molding cavity that has a second radius corresponding to an outer radius of a magnetic development roller molded within the molding cavity. The molding assembly also includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced channels formed within the shell portion, with each channel of the plurality having generally parallel walls, and being located immediately adjacent the inner surface of the shell portion for containing a permanent magnet suitable for inducing a magnetic field in a magnetic development roller molded within the molding cavity. A permanent magnet is placed within each channel of the plurality of channels, and is spaced from each wall of the parallel walls of each channel. As placed, the permanent magnet defines an adjustment space therefor with each wall of the parallel walls. Importantly, the molding assembly includes an adjustment device for precisely adjusting a magnetizing position of the permanent magnet within the adjustment space. The adjustment device includes at least one pair of first members for adjustably moving the permanent magnet radially relative to a center of the molding cavity, and at least one pair of second members for translating the permanent magnet non-radially relative to a center of the molding cavity, thus efficiently adjusting the magnetizing position of the permanent magnet for inducing relatively precise magnetic development fields in a magnetic development roller molded within the molding cavity.
