A magnetic plastic rotor disk manufacturing apparatus, includes an injection device for injecting a magnetic plastic material containing a synthetic resin matrix and a magnetic powder; a mold for molding the magnetic plastic material injected thereinto from the injection device, and a device for generating a magnetic field and magnetizing the magnetic powder in a direction along a diameter of the magnetic plastic rotor disks. The mold includes a three-plate type mold constructed of two retainer plates and a single runner stripper plate. One of the retainer plates is formed with a plurality of pin gates corresponding to the cavities so as to supply the magnetic plastic material through the pin gates into the cavities.

Magnetic plastic rotor disk manufacturing apparatus

A magnetic plastic rotor disk manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention is capable of manufacturing a plurality of magnetic plastic rotor disks having equal desired surface magnetic flux density distribution characteristics in a single molding cycle. The apparatus comprises a metal mold composed of a pair of half molds and having a plurality of cavities for receiving magnetic plastic material therein, etiher one or a plurality of magnetic field creating coils for creating one or a plurality of magnetic fields to magnetize and orient the magnetic particles in the above magnetic plastic material injected into the cavities, and also a plurality of yokes, one of which by any means extends from the central portion thereof along the splitting surface of the metal mold toward the above cavities formed on a circle concentrically formed therein so as to guide the magnetic fluxes of the magnetic fields created by the above coils to flow radially from the central portion of the same toward the periphery thereof. Thus, the magnetic plastic rotor disks formed in the cavities are exposed uniformly and diametrically to the magnetic flux, enabling them having a satisfactorily large surface magnetic flux density.
