  • Belt module with magnetic properties
    Patent number: 7597188
    Abstract: A module for chains or belts that is molded from a plastic compound containing a magnetizable element. The molding may be performed in a standard injection molding machine equipped with a device that produces an electromagnetic or permanent magnetic field. The field lines are directed in such a way as to penetrate the mold cavities and the molded part in the desired axis, in order to electrically charge the magnetizable particles and orient them to form a permanently magnetized plastic body. After discharge of the mold, the plastic part has magnetic properties with opposite charges at opposite poles.
