Abstract:
An improved bar magnet and method of construction, and an improved magnetic core comprising an assembly of such magnets, for use in a processing station of an electrostatographic printing machine. The improved bar magnet is formed of permanent magnet material having magnetic domains therein that are magnetized along epicycloidal curve segments. The external magnetic flux density is improved over that of a conventionally-magnetized magnet. An injection mold for inducing the particular epicycloidal alignment of magnetic domains in the improved bar magnet is provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a starter for a motor vehicle heat engine. The starter includes a rotary electric machine provided with a stator (3). The stator (3) includes a magnetic pole assembly wherein a permanent magnet (5) forms at least two poles of the magnetic pole assembly. The permanent magnet may have a cylindrical shape and be molded from a combination of magnetic particles embedded within a non-magnetic binder. Using this structure, the number of magnets used to create the stator may be limited in number, thereby limiting the necessary assembly steps to create the stator.

The present invention provides a magnet, which comprises a body having a first and a second section, and a slide arranged to be movable relative to the body between a first and a second position. The slide comprises a permanent magnet, and a first and a second pole piece that are attached to opposite magnetic pole surfaces of the permanent magnet. The first section comprises a hole that opens into a first cavity of the body, the bottom of the first cavity being delimited at least partly by the second section. The slide is movably arranged in the hole so that the second pole piece is directed towards the bottom of the first cavity, wherein at the first position of the slide, magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet is short-circuited by the first section, and at the second position of the slide, magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet is directed through the first and the second section.

A method for producing a radially anisotropic ring magnet having at least one axial groove on the inner surface comprises using a die comprising a cylindrical, magnetic core, a magnetic sleeve having an axial ridge in alignment with the groove on the outer surface and disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the core, and an outer, cylindrical die member defining a cavity for forming the ring magnet with the magnetic sleeve, and compression-molding magnet powder charged into the cavity while applying a magnetic field in a radial direction, and a radially anisotropic ring magnet substantially having a composition of R-TM-B, wherein R is at least one of rare earth elements including Y, TM is at least one of transition metals, and B is boron, having at least one axial groove on the inner surface, and magnetized such that centerlines between magnetic poles do not overlap grooves.
Abstract:
A radial anisotropic sintered magnet formed into a cylindrical shape includes a portion oriented in directions tilted at an angle of 30° or more from radial directions, the portion being contained in the magnet at a volume ratio in a range of 2% or more and 50% or less, and a portion oriented in radial directions or in directions tilted at an angle less than 30° from radial directions, the portion being the rest of the total volume of the magnet. The radial anisotropic sintered magnet has excellent magnet characteristics without occurrence of cracks in the steps of sintering and cooling for aging, even if the magnet has a shape of a small ratio between an inner diameter and an outer diameter.
Abstract:
In a magnet roller of the magnet piece bonding type, the main pole has a high magnetic flux density and the other pole has an asymmetric magnetic flux density pattern with respect to the magnetic flux density peak position. The magnet piece of the main pole is formed by injection molding while performing pole-anisotropic orientation of magnetic particles of the magnet piece. The magnet piece of the other pole is formed by extrusion molding while orientating the magnetic particles in a certain direction inclined by 5 degrees of more with respect to the center line of the radial direction of the magnet piece. The magnet roller is formed by combining the magnet piece of the main pole and the magnet piece of the other pole.
Abstract:
In a radially anisotropic sintered magnet of annular shape, the remanence in a radial direction of the annulus increases and decreases at intervals of 90° in a circumferential direction of the annulus, and the remanence in a radial direction over the entire circumference of the annulus has a maximum of 0.95-1.60 T and a minimum equal to 50-95% of the maximum. In a permanent magnet motor comprising a plurality of stator teeth, the radially anisotropic annular sintered magnet is incorporated after it is magnetized in 4n poles (wherein n is an integer of 1 to 20) so that the boundary between N and S poles is located within the range that is centered at the radial direction where the remanence exhibits the minimum and extends ±10° therefrom in a circumferential direction. The radially anisotropic annular sintered magnet undergoes neither fracture nor cracking during the sintering and aging/cooling steps even when it is shaped to a low inner/outer diameter ratio and has satisfactory magnetic properties. A permanent magnet motor comprising the radially anisotropic annular sintered magnet is inexpensive and of high performance.
Abstract:
A mold used to form a magnetic member includes a mold body having a mold opening, a mold support that supports the mold cavity, and a mold insert. The mold insert is disposed in the mold opening of the mold body to form a mold cavity. The mold insert is coated with a coating to protect the mold body from chemical attack and abrasive wear of the mold material. The coating comprises an electroless nickel layer formed on or over the mold insert, and a chromium nitride layer formed on or over the electroless nickel layer. The mold insert can be formed of beryllium-copper (Be—Cu).
