  • Patent number: 10395813
    Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic core which can be produced with improved productivity without increasing a material cost and has required magnetic and mechanical properties and a process for producing the same. The magnetic core is produced by compression molding and thereafter thermally hardening iron-based soft magnetic powder having resin films formed on surfaces of particles thereof. The resin film is an uncured resin film formed by dry mixing the iron-based soft magnetic powder and epoxy resin containing a latent curing agent with each other at a temperature not less than a softening temperature of the epoxy resin and less than a thermal curing starting temperature thereof. The iron-based soft magnetic powder having the resin films formed on the surfaces of the particles thereof is compression molded by using a die to produce a compression molded body.

  • Patent number: 10204725
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composite magnetic core, containing magnetic powders poor in its moldability, which can be configured arbitrarily and has a magnetic characteristic excellent in direct current superimposition characteristics and a magnetic element composed of the composite magnetic core and a coil wound around the circumference thereof. A compressed magnetic body (2) obtained by compression-molding magnetic powders is combined with an injection-molded magnetic body (3) obtained by mixing a binding resin with magnetic powders having surfaces thereof electrically insulated and by injection-molding a mixture of the magnetic powders and the binding resin. The compressed magnetic body (2) is press-fitted into the injection-molded magnetic body (3) or bonded thereto at a combining portion thereof to obtain the combined body. The combined body is composed of the injection-molded magnetic body (3) constituting a housing in which the compressed magnetic body (2) is disposed.

  • Patent number: 9976874
    Abstract: A magnetic encoder device (3) of the present invention includes a base portion (33) having a mounting surface (33b) for mounting to a rotary shaft (2), a cored bar (35) fitted and fixed over the base portion (33), and a double-row magnetic encoder track (30) formed on the cored bar (35). Through movement of each of magnetic poles of the magnetic encoder track (30) over a region opposed to a magnetic sensor (4), an angle of the rotating rotary shaft is detected. The base portion (33) is formed of a sintered metal, and the mounting surface (33b) is subjected to sizing.
