A magnet held in a magnet holder is constrained against radial or axial instability, or against both, by a shape on either component in contact with complementary shape on the other component, the shaped components generally defining a tab-and-slot arrangement. The magnet component may be a bonded magnet and in one embodiment may be formed in place by injection molding. The magnet also will exhibit improved magnet properties when magnetized to have lines of polarity matching a path defined by the bulk of the magnetic material as governed by the location of tabs on the magnet. The invention is useful in magnet-sensor assemblies found in industrial applications and in automotive applications such as power steering systems.

Magnet and holder assembly having improved rotational and axial stability

A magnet rotor assembly comprises a magnet sleeve held on a rotor shaft by a rigid adhesive layer that includes at least one axial wedge shape corresponding to an axial irregularity on at least one of the surfaces bonded by the adhesive layer. Improved crush strength in the magnet sleeve and in other bonded metal parts, both initially and after exposure to high temperatures is accomplished by impregnating the parts with a curable resin.
