  • Patent number: 6199265
    Abstract: When a magnet cover 21 is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surfaces of magnets 18 annularly arranged on the inner peripheral surface of a hollow cylindrical yoke 11 having at an end thereof a closure wall 12, the magnets 18 are arranged peripherally at regular intervals on the outer peripheral surface of the magnet cover 21 that is supported by the lower die 34. The yoke 11 is held by the upper die 31 and arranged coaxially relative to the magnet cover 21 with open end 14 directed to the magnet cover 21. As the upper die 31 and the lower die 34 are closed relative to each other, the magnets 18 and the magnet cover 21 are press-fitted into the yoke 11 as the outer peripheral surfaces 19 of the magnets 18 are pressed by the inner peripheral surface of the yoke 11. Thus, the magnets 18 are rigidly secured to the yoke 11 without arranging a through hole in the closure wall 12 of the yoke.
