Abstract

A molded article 1 is configured such that an insert 2 is made of a steel plate and includes a cylindrical part 2 A and an annular part 2 B, a plastic 4 is annular in shape so as to be joined to the annular part 2 B, inner diameter D 1 of the plastic 4 is larger than inner diameter D 2 of the annular part 2 B so that no burrs at a gate mark E protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article 1 , the injection molding is conducted with a disc gate arranged on an inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 4 at a position separated from a surface of the annular part 2 B, and the gate mark E resides on the inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 4 at a position separated from the surface of the annular part 2 B.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for producing a ring-shaped insert molded article in which a plastic, annular in shape, is joined via a thermoset adhesive to an annular part of a ring-shaped insert, wherein the ring-shaped insert is made of a steel plate and includes a cylindrical part and the annular part extended radially outward from one edge of the cylindrical part, wherein the inner diameter of the plastic is larger than the inner diameter of the annular part, comprising steps of:
applying a thermoset adhesive to a joining surface of the ring-shaped insert to the plastic, placing the ring-shaped insert to the plastic in an injection mold, clamping the injection mold, and filling molten plastic from a disc gate separated from a surface of the annular part with an insert core into a cavity of the injection mold so as to conduct an injection molding,
cooling and hardening the molten plastic and removing the pre-gate cutting molded article and the insert core from the metal mold, and
pressurizing the molded article by a pusher to cut the gate while the pre-gate cutting molded article and the insert core removed from the metal mold are set on a jig,
wherein the gate mark resides on the inner peripheral surface of the plastic at a position separated from the surface of the annular part in the gate-cut state.

2. The method for producing a ring-shaped insert molded article according to claim 1 , wherein
the ring-shaped insert molded article is an axial magnetic encoder in which the ring-shaped insert is a support member and the plastic is a plastic magnet,
the inner diameter of the plastic is 0.6 mm or more larger than the inner diameter of the annular part, and
the disc gate resides at a position separated 0.1 mm or more from the surface of the annular part.

3. A method for producing a ring-shaped insert molded article in which a plastic, annular in shape, is joined via a thermoset adhesive to an annular part of a ring-shaped insert, wherein the ring-shaped insert is made of a steel plate and includes a cylindrical part and the annular part extended radially outward from one edge of the cylindrical part, wherein the inner diameter of the plastic is larger than the inner diameter of the annular part, comprising steps of:
applying a thermoset adhesive to a joining surface of the ring-shaped insert to the plastic, placing the ring-shaped insert to the plastic in an injection mold, clamping the injection mold, and filling molten plastic from a disc gate separated from a surface of the annular part with a slide core into a cavity of the injection mold so as to conduct an injection molding,
cooling and hardening the molten plastic and removing the pre-gate cutting molded article from the metal mold, and
pressurizing the molded article by a pusher to cut the gate while the pre-gate cutting molded article removed from the metal mold is set on a jig,
wherein the gate mark resides on the inner peripheral surface of the plastic at a position separated from the surface of the annular part in the gate-cut state.

4. The method for producing a ring-shaped insert molded article according to claim 3 , wherein
the ring-shaped insert molded article is an axial magnetic encoder in which the ring-shaped insert is a support member and the plastic is a plastic magnet,
the inner diameter of the plastic is 0.6 mm or more larger than the inner diameter of the annular part, and
the disc gate resides at a position separated 0.1 mm or more from the surface of the annular part.
