Patent EP-1366345-B1 (EP)
Inventor: MAY LUTZ AXEL
IPC: G01L1/12
Filed: 2002-02-06
Granted: 2012-04-25
Abstract: A region (22) of a shaft (10) may be given a permanent or stored longitudinal magnetisation by locating it within a helical coil (60) and rotating (28) the shaft about its axis (A-A) when applying a pulse of direct current (I) to magnetise at least an annular zone of the shaft. Successive pulses of opposite polarity are preferably employed, the first of higher magnitude saturating the shaft to greater depth, the second of lower magnitude to saturate the shaft to lesser depth. This provides outer and inner annuli of opposite polarity magnetisation. The same coil may be energised with alternating current while the shaft is moved axially through it in a pre-magnetisation procedure to magnetically cleanse or de-gauss the shaft. The coil may be energised subsequent to magnetisation with alternating current at a lower magnitude and/or higher frequency than for pre-magnetisation without the post-magnetisation field destroying the desired pattern of magnetisation.
