Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a magnetic apparatus including a magnet having an outer surface and an inner surface opposing each other with the inner surface having a first portion and a second portion integrally connected to each other with said first portion facing said second portion in a spaced relationship relative to a longitudinal axis, said magnet including a first end wall axially spaced from a second end wall along the longitudinal axis and adjacent said inner and outer surfaces and utilizing a fluid with a fixture body defining a hole along the longitudinal axis and a deflector disposed within the hole; said method comprising the steps of: installing the magnet on the fixture body; securing the magnet to the fixture body; flowing the fluid through the magnet transverse to the longitudinal axis to form at least one aperture, said at least one aperture disposed between said first and second end walls and axially spaced from said first and second end walls along the longitudinal axis; and intersecting the fluid with the deflector to redirect the fluid generally along the longitudinal axis.
