Title: Method of Manufacturing a Magnet Assembly
Inventor: CHILDE MATTHEW JOHN
IPC: H01F7/02
Filed: 2010-11-02
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a magnet assembly, the method comprising surrounding a preheated bonded magnet 2 with a sleeve 3 and compressing the magnet in an axial direction by means of a ram 8 such that the magnet and sleeve expand in a radial direction, the magnet assembly being retained under pressure from the ram until it has cooled beyond the creep/malleability threshold. The ram 8 and the support 6,7 may be heated to prevent localised cooling and the expansion of the support pin 6, which maintains the magnet bore size during the process, allows the pin to contract sufficiently to remove the magnet assembly when cool, compressed air being directed at the assembly to cool the structure, the dimensions of the sleeve and magnets after assembly being such that the sleeve provides a compressive force on the magnet. The sleeve may be carbon fibre, stainless steel or aramid composite and the magnet composition may be Nd-Fe-B. The press may include an outer cylindrical wall to limit the expansion of the magnet assembly
