Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnet roller includes a roller-shaped body constructed of a magnetic field generating material, a first support rod provided to a first axial end of the body; and a second support rod provided to a second axial end of the body. At least one of the first and second support rods is constructed of a nonmagnetic material and includes a projecting part projecting outside the body from an end face of the body and a buried part united to the projecting part and positioned inside the body. The buried part includes a reduced-area portion smaller than a base end of the projecting part adjacent to the buried part in cross-sectional area perpendicular to an axial direction of the first and second support rods.
