CARRIER USING SPHERICAL MAGNET

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carrier using spherical magnets which smoothly carry a material even in a curve having small radius and shows no fluctuation in the magnetic force in the curve. SOLUTION: A carrier is so constituted that a plurality of spherical magnets 2 are arranged inside a nonmagnetic carrier pipe l having a circular section and an air pressure or a hydraulic drive means 5 for moving the spherical magnets 2 is provided. A hard rubber or fluororesin coating body 3 is provided in the outer circumference of each spherical magnet 2 or the spherical magnets 2 are stored in a hose-shaped storage body into a line, and silicon liquid may be filled inside the storage body so as to be sealed.
