987,595. Bearings. M. BAERMANN. May 29, 1962 [May 30, 1961], No. 20622/62. Heading F2A. An axial bearing assembly comprises two permanent magnets, such as 27, 29 in Fig. 5, or two assemblies thereof, such as 5, 6 and 7, 8 in Fig. 2, each magnet or magnet assembly having at least one ring-shaped north pole and at least one ring-shaped south pole disposed concentrically thereto and with no yoke member therebetween, the magnet 27 or one magnet assembly being fastened to a rotatable member, e.g. a rotor shaft 23, to be supported and the magnet 29 or the other assembly being fastened to a support 24, so that like poles thereof lie opposite each other, the spacing between the magnets 27, 29 or assemblies being at most equal to 1 mm. and the said poles of the magnets 27, 29 or those of the assemblies 5, 6 and 7, 8 being formed only on the mutually-facing surfaces of each magnet 27, 29 or of the assemblies, or the assemblies, such as 9, 10 and 11, 12 in Fig. 3, having yoke members 13, 14 arranged so as to form the said poles in that manner, the radial distance from a central point on the said north pole to a central point on the said south pole being less than 5 mm. Preferably, the widths of the poles in the radial direction are such that each of the magnets 27, 29 or magnet assemblies 5, 6 and 7, 8 has a total north pole area equal to its south pole area and equal respectively to the total north pole area and total south pole area of the other magnet or magnet assembly. The same may be said with regard to the assemblies of Fig. 3. The magnets may comprise material having a coercive field strength of more than 100 Oersted, e.g. barium ferrite, and may be made from a mixture of permanent-magnet powder and a binder by moulding or transfer moulding, with the application, if desired, of a magnetic directing field. |
