A magnetic field apparatus includes a main magnet that generates a magnetic field with respect to an armature, a member made of a soft magnetic material and disposed adjacent to an end surface of the main magnet on a side opposing the armature, an auxiliary magnet that increases a magnetic flux of a magnetic pole of the main magnet on the side opposing the armature and disposed adjacent to the main magnet and the member in a relative moving direction between the magnetic field apparatus and the armature, and a restricting part that restricts the magnetic flux of the main magnet passing through an end surface of the member along a third direction that is perpendicular to both a first direction in which the main magnet and the armature oppose each other, and a second direction corresponding to the relative moving direction between the magnetic field apparatus and the armature.

Magnetic field apparatus and linear motor

A permanent field magnet is disposed between two armatures parallel to each other, and includes a first field magnet section facing a first armature of the two armatures, and a second field magnet section facing a second armature of the two armatures that is different from the first armature. The first field magnet section includes a first main magnet that generates a magnetic field for the first armature and a first auxiliary magnet that increases magnetic flux of a magnetic pole of the first main magnet. The second field magnet section includes a second main magnet that generates a magnetic field for the second armature and a second auxiliary magnet that increases magnetic flux of a magnetic pole of the second main magnet. The first main magnet and the second main magnet, or the first auxiliary magnet and the second auxiliary magnet, are permanent magnets magnetized in the same direction.

A magnetic field generator including: a yoke; and a plurality of main magnetic pole magnets and a plurality of secondary magnetic pole magnets, the main magnetic pole magnets and the secondary magnetic pole magnets comprising a rare earth sintered magnet, having magnetic pole orientations different from each other by substantially 90&#xb0;, and being alternately arranged in a linear Halbach magnet array without gaps and fixed to the yoke, wherein near contact surfaces of the main magnetic pole magnets and the secondary magnetic pole magnets, a grain boundary diffusion layer is formed in which at least one of Dy or Tb being heavy rare earth elements or a compound of at least one of the Dy or the Tb is diffused into internal grain boundaries from the contact surfaces.

Magnetic field generator, method for manufacturing magnetic field generator, and linear motor using magnetic field generator

A linear motor includes an armature that includes a coil and a core made of a soft magnetic material, and a field magnet that includes a permanent magnet generating a magnetic field for the armature. One of the armature or the field magnet is a mover and the other of the armature or the field magnet is a stator, and the stator includes a first section and a second section. The armature and the field magnet are arranged such that the mover is interposed between the first and second sections, and at least one of the armature or the field magnet is configured to have an asymmetrical property between first and second magnetic actions. The first magnetic action is caused by the permanent magnet between the mover and the first section, and the second magnetic action is caused by the permanent magnet between the mover and the second section.

A rotor core () in a permanent magnet type rotating electric machine () is formed by laminating a plurality of plate materials (A), (B), (C), and (D) and includes one or a plurality of center bridges () formed between adjacent magnet slots () to couple an outer peripheral edge () and a core portion () together in one magnetic pole. Non-magnetic portions () are formed at a part or all of the one or the plurality of respective center bridges (). Insulation films () are disposed on surfaces of parts other than regions where the non-magnetic portions () are formed on the plurality of respective plate materials (A), (B), (C), and (D) forming the rotor core ().

Permanent magnet type rotating electric machine and manufacturing method of the same

Provided is a rotating electrical machine that has superior rotor strength and can be manufactured at low cost, wherein torque generated by a rotor can be increased. Two holes are formed in a circumferential direction in each pole in a rotor. The two holes communicate with an outer periphery of the rotor, and an outer peripheral edge portion on an outer side in a radial direction of the rotor of the two holes is connected via a center bridge between the two holes to a core portion on an inner side in the radial direction of the rotor in each pole. The center bridge is demagnetized, or the permeability thereof is reduced. Consequently, leakage flux passing through the center bridge can be reduced, even when the width of the center bridge is increased.
