Abstract

A bonded magnet is provided which includes first and second components. The first and second components have first and second non-action surfaces, and first and second action surfaces that intersect the first and second non-action surfaces, respectively. First and second flux groups curve inside the first and second components from the first and second non-action surfaces to the first and second action surfaces, respectively. The areas of the first and second non-action surfaces are greater than the first and second action surfaces, respectively. The flux densities on the first and second action surfaces are higher than the first and second non-action surfaces, respectively. The pole on the first non-action surface is opposite to the second non-action surface. The first and second non-action surfaces are coupled to each other. The first flux groups continuously extend from one to another.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for producing a flat bonded magnet having a first action surface on which the magnetic poles are exposed, and a first non-action surface connected to said first action surface, the method comprising:
providing a molding die cavity to be filled with a bond magnet composition that contains a magnetic material and a resin; and
charging a melted mixture of the bond magnet composition into said cavity, and forming said bonded magnet while controlling the magnetic orientation of said magnetic material by applying an external magnetic field to said magnetic material, wherein
said external magnetic field is formed by a first external magnetic field part and a second external magnetic field part that are distributed by facing the same poles to each other,
said cavity is closer to said first external magnetic field part than to said second external magnetic field part in said same-poles-facing direction in the space where said first external magnetic field part and said second external magnetic field part are distributed, and
said second external magnetic field part is arranged at substantially the same distance from said cavity as a depth of said cavity in said same-poles-facing direction.

2. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 1 ,
wherein a nonmagnetic steel part is arranged between said second external magnetic field part and said cavity.

3. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 1 , wherein said flat bonded magnet is disc-shaped.

4. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 3 , wherein a yoke having a relative permeability of 100 to 1,000,000 is arranged to face a circumferential side surface of said cavity, which corresponds to an action surface as a circumferential side surface of said bonded magnet.

5. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 3 , wherein an additional magnetizing magnet is arranged to face a circumferential side surface of said cavity, which corresponds to an action surface as a circumferential side surface of said bonded magnet.

6. A method for producing a flat bonded magnet having a first action surface on which the magnetic poles are exposed, and a first non-action surface connected to said first action surface, the method comprising:
providing a molding die cavity to be filled with a bond magnet composition that contains a magnetic material and a resin; and
charging a melted mixture of the bond magnet composition into said cavity, and forming said bonded magnet while controlling the magnetic orientation of said magnetic material by applying an external magnetic field to said magnetic material by using magnetizing magnets for magnetically controlling the orientation of said magnetic material, wherein
said magnetizing magnets comprise a first magnetizing magnet and a second magnetizing magnet that are orientated with the same poles facing to each other,
said cavity is interposed between said first magnetizing magnet and said second magnetizing magnet, and is closer to said first magnetizing magnet than to said second magnetizing magnet in an axial direction from the first magnetizing magnet to the second magnetizing magnet, and
said second magnetizing magnet is arranged at substantially the same distance from said cavity as a depth of said cavity in the axial direction.

7. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 6 ,
wherein a nonmagnetic steel part is arranged between said second magnetizing magnet and said cavity.

8. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 6 , wherein said flat bonded magnet is disc-shaped.

9. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 8 , wherein a yoke having a relative permeability of 100 to 1,000,000 is arranged to face a circumferential side surface of said cavity, which corresponds to an action surface as a circumferential side surface of said bonded magnet.

10. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 8 , wherein an additional magnetizing magnet is arranged to face a circumferential side surface of said cavity, which corresponds to an action surface as a circumferential side surface of said bonded magnet.

11. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the first non-action surface is a flat surface.

12. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 1 , wherein a magnetic force of the first external magnetic field part extends in a direction perpendicular to the non-action surface of the flat bonded magnet.

13. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the first non-action surface is larger than an area of the first action surface.

14. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 6 , wherein the first non-action surface is a flat surface.

15. The method for producing a flat bonded magnet according to claim 6 , wherein a magnetic force of the first magnetizing magnet extends in a direction perpendicular to the non-action surface of the flat bonded magnet.
