Description

  The present invention relates to a magnetizing device and a magnetizing head for magnetizing a magnetized body so as to alternately change the polarity in a predetermined magnetizing direction, and more particularly to an annular magnetic encoder disposed in a wheel bearing or the like. The present invention relates to a magnetizing apparatus and a magnetizing head suitable for magnetizing.

  Many automobile wheel bearings (hub bearings) require the wheels required to control ABS (anti-lock braking system: (skid prevention device)) and ESC (electronic stability control (vehicle attitude stabilization device)). A rotation sensor is attached. The wheel rotation sensor includes a magnetic sensor that detects a change in the polarity of the N and S poles of the magnet, and a magnetic encoder that is a ring-shaped magnet in which N and S poles are alternately magnetized at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. It is comprised. A magnetic sensor detects the situation in which the polarity of the magnetic encoder changes alternately with the rotation of the wheel, and it is used as a wheel rotation signal for vehicle control such as ABS and ESC. A magnetizing apparatus for manufacturing the magnetic encoder has been developed.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional magnetizing apparatus and magnetizing method for manufacturing this magnetic encoder. As a conventional magnetizing device, a one-shot magnetizing device described in, for example, paragraphs 0003-0004 of Patent Document 1 and a rotary magnetizing device described in, for example, paragraph 0005 of Patent Document 1 have been proposed. .

  As shown in FIG. 8 of Patent Document 1, in the one-shot magnetizing apparatus, the conductive wires are arranged on the circumference so that N poles and S poles are alternately arranged between the conductive wires on the upper surface of the magnetizing head 10. The ring-shaped magnetic body (magnetized body) is fixed on the upper surface, and the magnetized body is magnetized by a magnetic field generated by energizing the conductive wire.

  As shown in FIG. 9 of Patent Document 1, a conventional rotary magnetizing apparatus rotates a two-pole head in the circumferential direction of a ring-shaped magnetic body (magnetized body) to magnetize N and S poles. The magnetized body is magnetized by a magnetic field generated from the tip of the dipole head by passing an alternating current through a coil wound around the dipole head in accordance with the pitch. Further, Patent Document 1 discloses a rotary magnetizing method using a three-pole head having a center head wound with a coil and side heads on both sides of the center head instead of the two-pole head. Patent Document 2 also describes a conventional one-shot magnetizing apparatus and a conventional rotary magnetizing apparatus. In Patent Document 2, one end of a magnetizing head including a magnetizing yoke around which an exciting coil is wound is described. And the other end are opposed to each other, and a rotationally magnetized apparatus is disclosed that magnetizes from both the front surface and the back surface of the magnetized body by disposing the magnetized body between them.

  However, as described in Patent Document 1, the accuracy of the magnetization pitch of the N pole and the S pole depends on the arrangement accuracy of the electric wires arranged on the upper surface of the magnetizing head. Since the wires are arranged by hand, it is difficult to secure a highly accurate magnetization pitch.

  In addition, since the conventional rotary magnetization type device can control the alternating current cycle with high accuracy, it can obtain a high-precision magnetization pitch compared to the one-shot magnetization type, but the coil wound around the head The magnetized body is magnetized by the magnetic field generated at the tip of the head, so that the magnetized body is magnetized compared to the one-shot magnetized device in which the magnetized body is in direct contact with the coil and magnetized. Magnetic force is weak. If the magnetic force of the adherend is relatively weak, when the adherend is attached as a magnetic encoder for a wheel bearing, the magnetic sensor and the magnetic sensor must detect the wheel rotation signal above the level required for control. It is necessary to narrow the distance between the two and high assembly accuracy is required.

FIG.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, this embodiment does not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration example of a magnetizing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment exemplifies a magnetizing apparatus that magnetizes a disk-shaped magnetized body so that the polarity changes alternately in the circumferential direction. The magnetizing apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a rotation holding unit 10 that rotatably holds a disk-shaped magnetized body 1 to be magnetized, a motor 12 that rotates the rotation holding unit, and a rotation angle of the motor 12. The encoder 14 outputs a pulse signal corresponding to the above, a magnetizing head 16 that magnetizes the magnetized body 1, a power supply device 18, and a control means 20. Further, a magnetic sensor 30 for detecting the magnetism of the magnetized magnetic body 1 that has been magnetized is provided.

  The magnetized body 1 is a member that becomes a multipolar magnetized annular body such as a magnetic encoder by magnetization, and is an annular magnetic body. As the adherend 1, for example, a rare earth sintered magnet capable of obtaining a large magnetic flux density is preferable, but other magnets such as a ferrite bonded magnet can also be applied.

  The rotation holding unit 10 is a main shaft concentric with the magnetized body 1, and the magnetized body 1 is rotatably fixed to the rotation holding unit 10 by a chuck (not shown). In this embodiment, the magnetizing head 16 is fixed and the magnetized body 1 is rotated with respect to the magnetized head 16. However, the magnetizing head 16 is rotated with respect to the fixed magnetized body 1. In principle, the configuration to be made is also possible.

  As the motor 12, for example, a brushless motor excellent in rotation accuracy is used, and the rotation holding unit 10 is driven to rotate. The encoder 14 outputs a pulse signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the motor 12, and the higher the resolution, the smaller the pitch error. For example, the encoder 14 preferably outputs a pulse signal of 10,000 pulses or more per rotation. .

  As will be described in detail later, the magnetizing head 16 has a front end surface facing or close to the magnetized surface of the magnetized body, and a groove extending from one end side to the other end side of the front end surface on the front end surface. Are provided, and conductive lines are arranged along the grooves. Further, the magnetizing head 16 is positioned so that the direction from one end side to the other end side of the front end surface thereof is the radial direction of the magnetized body perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the magnetized body.

  The power supply device 18 is a device that applies a magnetizing current to the electric wire accommodated in the tip surface of the magnetizing head 16, and is an inverter circuit using a switching element such as a thyristor. An alternating current having an arbitrary frequency can be obtained by controlling the ON / OFF cycle of the switching element.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the inverter circuit. In the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 2A provided with the switches S1, S2, S3 and S4, the combination of the switching elements S1 and S3 and the combination of the switching elements S2 and S4 are alternated as shown in FIG. The ON / OFF operation of the switching element reverses the direction of the current flowing through the load, and the period T can be freely set by controlling the ON / OFF period of the switching element.

  The control means 20 includes a control circuit 21 that controls the power supply device 18 and an overall control device 22 that is higher than that. The control circuit 21 is a circuit that controls the cycle of the alternating current of the power supply device 18, and the overall control device 22 acquires a pulse signal from the encoder 14 and controls the motor 12 and the control circuit 21. Furthermore, the control means 20 can detect the magnetic flux density of the magnetized magnetized body 1 by acquiring a signal from the magnetic sensor 30 and determine whether or not the magnetized body is normally magnetized. . The magnetic sensor 30 includes a Hall element and a Gauss meter. The overall control device 22 is, for example, a personal computer, and various controls are executed by the CPU executing a predetermined control program.

  Next, the configuration of the magnetizing head 16 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  3 and 4 are diagrams showing a first configuration example of the magnetizing head 16 in the present embodiment. A first configuration example of the magnetizing head 16 includes, for example, a core 2 formed of a ferromagnetic material such as a cobalt alloy (for example, permendur), and a surface (tip surface) of the core 2 facing the magnetized body 1. And a conductive wire 3 accommodated in a groove (conductive wire positioning means) 2c provided in the structure. The conductive wire 3 is, for example, a copper wire.

  FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C are a bottom view, a front view, and a side view of the core 2, respectively, and FIG. 3D is a detailed view of a dotted line enclosing portion p in FIG. 3B. . The bottom surface of the core 2 is a tip surface facing the magnetized body 1 of the core 2. 4 shows a state in which the conductive wire 3 is disposed on the front end surface of the core 2. FIG. 4 (a) shows a bottom surface that is the front end surface of the core 2 similar to FIG. 3 (a). 4B is a cross-sectional view of the center line AA of the tip surface of the core 2 shown in FIG. 4A, and FIG. 4C is the center line of the tip surface of the core 2 shown in FIG. It is sectional drawing of a BB line.

  In the first configuration example, the front end surface 2a of the core 2 is an elongated surface, and the dimensions thereof are, for example, a short side length of 3 mm and a long side length of 20 mm. The core 2 includes a first height portion extending from the front end surface 2a to a predetermined height (for example, about 10 mm) in the short side length and the long side length in the height direction, and the predetermined height. It has a second height portion extending in the height direction with a length (for example, about 20 mm) longer in the short direction than the length in the short direction from the position. The height of the second height portion is about 50 mm, and the total height from the tip surface 2a to the opposite surface 2b is about 60 mm. As shown in FIG. 3 (c), the second height portion may be formed so that the length in the short direction is widened in the second height portion. Instead of providing the length changing portion, it may be formed in a rectangular shape such that the length in the short direction is long. The second height portion is for securing a dimension necessary for fixing the magnetizing head 16 to a magnetizing head mounting device (not shown). The magnetizing head 16 is attached to a magnetizing head positioning device (not shown). A screw hole 2b or the like for fixing is provided. Further, in the first configuration example, the distal end surface 2a only needs to have a region that can be disposed by extending one conductive wire 3 in the longitudinal direction, so that the distal end surface 2a is elongated as shown in FIG. Although an example of the shape surface is shown, the length in the short direction of the tip surface 2a may be formed with the same dimension as the length in the short direction of the second height portion. The magnetizing head mounting device is a known XYZ stage for positioning the magnetizing head 16 in the three-axis directions of the X, Y, and Z axes.

  A groove 2c extending linearly in the longitudinal direction from one end side to the other end side is formed on the distal end surface 2a. As shown in FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (c), the conductive wire 3 is formed in the groove 2c. It is hold | maintained inside and is extended and arrange | positioned in the longitudinal direction of the front end surface 2a. The groove 2c has a depth and a width that can accommodate the conductive wire 3, and when the diameter of the conductive wire is, for example, about 1 mm, as shown in FIG. It is formed with a dimension of about 1 mm. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 2c is not limited to a substantially circular cross-section as shown in FIG. 3D, and may be a rectangular cross-section. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the conductive wire is not particularly limited as long as it can be accommodated in the groove 2c, such as a circular cross-section or a rectangular cross-section.

  The core 2 is further formed with a through hole 2d for penetrating the conductive wire 3 in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 4C, the conductive wire 3 extending from the power supply device 18 extends in the groove 2c from one end side to the other end side of the front end surface 2a, and comes out from the other end side of the front end surface 2a. 3 extends in the opposite direction from the other end side of the front end surface 2a to the one end side through the through hole 2d and returns to the power supply device 18 from one end side of the front end surface 2a. The direction of the current flowing through the conductive line portion extending through the through hole 2d is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through the through hole 2d when viewed from the adherend 1 and is generated by the current flowing through the conductive line portion extending through the through hole 2d. The through hole 2d is formed away from the tip surface in the height direction so that the magnetic field to be generated does not cancel the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the conductive line portion extending in the groove 2c. In the first configuration example, the height position of the through hole 2d is about 15 mm from the tip surface 2a.

  5 and 6 are diagrams showing a second configuration example of the magnetizing head 16 in the present embodiment. FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C are a bottom view, a front view, and a side view of the core 2, respectively, and FIG. 5D is a detailed view of a dotted line encircled portion q in FIG. 5B. . Similar to the first configuration example, the bottom surface of the core 2 is a front end surface of the core 2 facing the magnetized body 1. 6 shows a state in which the conductive wire 3 is arranged on the front end surface of the core 2, FIG. 6 (a) shows a bottom surface which is the front end surface of the core 2 similar to FIG. 5 (a), and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view of the center line AA of the front end surface of the core 2 shown in FIG. 6A, and FIG. 6C is a center line of the front end surface of the core 2 shown in FIG. It is sectional drawing of a BB line.

  As in the first configuration example, the second configuration example of the magnetizing head 16 includes a core 2 formed of a ferromagnetic material such as a cobalt alloy and a surface of the core 2 facing the magnetized body 1 ( And a conductive wire 3 accommodated in a groove 2c as a conductive wire positioning means provided on the front end surface.

  In the second configuration example, the front end surface 2a of the core 2 is vertically and horizontally at a height position (corresponding to the second height portion in the first configuration example) having a screw hole for attachment to the magnetizing head positioning device. The dimension is the same as the dimension, and the dimension is, for example, 20 mm × 20 mm. The core 2 extends from the front end surface 2a in the height direction with the same vertical and horizontal dimensions, and the overall height is about 60 mm. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the front end surface 2a has three grooves 2c-1, 2c-2, 2c-3 (collectively named) arranged in parallel extending from one end side to the other end side. (Referred to as groove 2c). More specifically, the three grooves 2c are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction of the adherend 1 when the tip face 2a is arranged to face the adherend 1 and It is formed so as to extend linearly from one end side to the other end side along the radial direction of the adherend 1. Further, the groove 2c is formed from one end side of the front end surface 2a to a predetermined length inside and from the other end side to a predetermined length inner side, and one conductive wire 3 is formed on one end of the front end surface 2a on the front end surface 2a. It is bent in the opposite direction on the side and the other end side and is accommodated in the adjacent groove 2c so as to extend in the opposite direction.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an arrangement pattern of the conductive lines 3 arranged in the grooves 2c in the second configuration example. The conductive wire 3 extending from the power supply device 18 is bent at a predetermined angle from the extended line of the central groove 2c-2 on one end side of the front end surface, and is disposed in the groove 2c-1, and from the one end side to the other end of the front end surface 2a. Extending in the opposite direction, bent in the opposite direction at the other end of the groove 2c-1, and disposed in the adjacent groove 2c-2, extending from the other end side of the front end surface 2a to one end side. It is bent in the opposite direction on one end side, is disposed in the adjacent groove 2c-3, extends from one end side to the other end side of the front end surface 2a, and the central groove 2c-2 on the other end side of the groove 2c-3. It is bent so as to extend on the extension line.

  As in the first configuration example, the groove 2c in the second configuration example has a depth and width that can accommodate the conductive wire 3, and when the diameter of the conductive wire is about 1 mm, for example, FIG. As shown in d), both the width and the depth are formed with dimensions of about 1.1 mm, for example. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 2c may be a rectangular cross-section as shown in FIG. 5 (d), for example, a cross-section having a circular bottom, or any shape that can accommodate a conductive wire. It doesn't matter.

  The core 2 is further formed with a through hole 2d for allowing the conductive wire 3 to penetrate from the other end side of the distal end surface to the distal end surface side. The through hole 2d is provided at a height position directly below the groove 2c-2. As shown in FIG. 6 (c), the conductive wire 3 coming out from the other end side of the groove 2c-3 on the front end surface 2a according to the pattern shown in FIG. 7 is bent and oppositely directed to the other end side of the front end surface 2a. Extends from the one end side of the front end surface 2a back to the power supply unit 18. At this time, the direction of the current flowing through the conductive line portion extending in the groove 2c-2 and the conductive line portion extending through the through hole 2d is the same. Accordingly, since the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the through hole 2d also contributes to the magnetization of the magnetized body 1, the through hole 2d is formed as close to the tip surface 2a as possible, and preferably, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the groove 2c-2 may be provided immediately below and the bottom of the groove 2c-2 may communicate with the through hole 2d. Of course, the through hole 2d may be formed at a position directly below the groove 2c-2 as close to the groove 2c-2 as possible without the bottom of the groove 2c-2 communicating with the through hole 2d.

  Similarly to the first configuration example, the magnetizing head 16 in the second configuration example is appropriately provided with a screw hole 2b for fixing the magnetizing head 16 to a magnetizing head positioning device (not shown).

  The grooves 2c, the through holes 2d, the screw holes 2b, and the like of the core 2 in the first and second configuration examples are formed by machining. Further, in order to fix the conductive wire 3 on the distal end surface 2a, the conductive wire 3 extending outward from one end side and the other end side of the distal end surface 2a of the core 2 is made to the side surface of the core 2 with, for example, epoxy resin It may be fixed.

  Next, the magnetization method will be described. The magnetized body 1 to be magnetized is held by the rotation holding unit 10 and the motor 12 is driven to rotate the magnetized body 1 fixed to the rotation holding unit. The magnetizing head 16 is positioned so that the front end surface 2a faces the magnetized body 1 with a slight distance therebetween. In principle, the tip surface 2a (in this embodiment, the depth of the groove 2c is designed to be deeper than the diameter of the conductive wire 3, so that the conductive wire 3 on the tip surface 2a protrudes from the groove 2c. However, when the depth of the groove 2c is shallower than the diameter of the conductive wire 3, the configuration in which the conductive wire 3) protruding from the groove 2c is in contact with the adherend 1 applies the strongest magnetic field to the adherend. However, in consideration of wear of the tip surface 2a due to friction, a slight gap is provided between the magnetized body 1 and the tip surface 2a of the magnetized head 16.

  Then, the overall control device 22 acquires a pulse signal from the encoder 14 and generates an alternating current having a frequency corresponding to the number of poles to be magnetized during one rotation of the magnetized body 1 in synchronization with the pulse signal cycle. As described above, a control signal is sent to the control circuit 21, and the control circuit 21 performs switch control of the switching circuit (inverter circuit) of the power supply device 18 in accordance with the control signal. For example, when 96 poles are magnetized, the rotation angle per pole is 3.75 degrees, and the overall controller 22 counts the number of pulse signals corresponding to the time for which the magnetized body 1 rotates 3.75 degrees. Each time the number of pulse signals is counted, a control signal is sent to the control circuit 21 so as to reverse the current direction.

  The alternating current supplied from the power supply device 18 is generated by a current flowing through the conductive wire 3 of the magnetizing head 16 and flowing through the conductive wire 3 disposed in the groove 2c of the tip surface 2a at a position very close to the magnetized body 1. The magnetized body 1 is magnetized by the magnetic field.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the state of the magnetic field applied to the adherend 1. 8A shows the magnetic field applied by the magnetizing head 16 of the first configuration example, and FIG. 8B shows the magnetic field applied by the magnetizing head 16 of the second configuration example.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the magnetized body 1 is magnetized by the magnetizing head 16 of the first configuration example, the magnetic field generated by the conductive wire 3 disposed in the groove 2c of the tip surface 2a A magnetic flux passes through the magnetized surface of the magnetized body 1, and a predetermined angle (3.75 degrees in the case of 96-pole magnetizing) is magnetized to one pole (for example, N pole). Thereafter, at the next adjacent predetermined angular interval due to the rotation of the magnetized body 1, the direction of the current flowing through the conductive wire 3 is reversed as described above, so that the other pole (for example, the S pole) is magnetized. This is repeated at predetermined angular intervals to realize multipolar magnetization with a predetermined number of poles. In addition, by changing the period of the alternating current generated by the power supply device 18 in synchronization with the pulse signal from the encoder 14, multipolar magnetization with any number of poles (for example, 2 to 10000 poles) is possible. is there.

  As explained in the section of the prior art, the conventional rotary magnetization type magnetizes the core by the magnetic field generated by the coil energized by the coil wound around the magnetizing head, and the magnetic field of the magnetized core Since the magnetized body was magnetized, there was a problem that the magnetic force was weaker than that of the conventional one-shot magnetizing type. However, in the magnetizing apparatus in the present embodiment, the magnetic field generated by the conductive wire 3 is present. In addition to the magnetic field generated by the core 2 magnetized by the magnetic field, the magnetized body 1 is directly magnetized by the magnetic field generated by the conductive wire 3 that is in contact with or slightly spaced from the magnetized body 1. It can be magnetized with a larger magnetic force than the magnetic type. Further, in the conventional one-shot magnetization type, it has been difficult to ensure a high-precision magnetization pitch. However, in the magnetization apparatus in the present embodiment using the magnetization head 16 of the first configuration example, Since the cycle of the alternating current can be controlled with high accuracy by the inverter, a highly accurate magnetization pitch can be obtained.

  As described above, the magnetizing apparatus according to the present embodiment enables magnetizing with a larger magnetic force than the conventional rotary magnetizing type while ensuring a highly accurate magnetizing pitch.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when the magnetized body 1 is magnetized by the magnetizing head 16 of the second configuration example, the magnetization by the magnetizing head 16 of the first configuration example described above is basically performed. The same operation is performed. In the second configuration example, the direction of the current flowing through the conductive line 3 of the groove 2c-2 and the conductive lines 3 of the grooves 2c-1 and 2c-3 on both sides thereof is reversed. For example, when the magnetized body 1 is magnetized to the N pole by the magnetic field generated by the conductive wire 3 in the groove 2c-2, both sides thereof are magnetized to the S pole. As described above, since the grooves 2c-1, 2c-2, and 2c-3 are arranged at a rotation angle interval corresponding to the magnetization pitch according to the number of magnetic poles, the conductive lines 3 of the groove 2c-2 When the magnetization by the generated magnetic field is used as a reference, the magnetization by the magnetic field generated by the conductive wire 3 of the grooves 2c-1 and 2c-3 is also before and after the magnetization by the magnetic field generated by the conductive line 3 of the groove 2c-2. In total, magnetization is performed three times during one rotation.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in the magnetizing head 16 of the second configuration example, the conductive wire 3 passing through the through-hole 2d passes immediately below the groove 2c-2, and the conduction of the groove 2c-2. The direction of the current of the conductive wire 3 passing through the through hole 2d is the same as that of the wire, and the conductive wire 3 passing through the through hole 2d is located very close to the magnetized body 1, and therefore is generated by the conductive wire 3 passing through the through hole 2d. The applied magnetic field also contributes to the magnetization of the magnetized surface facing the groove 2c-2. Accordingly, the magnetized surface facing the position of the groove 2c-2 is substantially magnetized by the two conductive lines, and the magnetized surface facing the positions of the grooves 2c-1 and 2c-3 adjacent to both sides. Is also strongly magnetized.

  As described above, in the magnetizing apparatus according to the present embodiment using the magnetizing head 16 of the second configuration example, as in the case of the first configuration example, both a large magnetic force and a highly accurate magnetization pitch are provided. In addition to being compatible at a high level, it is possible to magnetize with a larger magnetic force than in the case of the first configuration example.

  Further, along with the magnetizing operation, the magnetic sensor 30 detects the magnetic flux density of each magnetic pole of the magnetized magnetized body 1, and the overall control device 20 performs normal magnetization along with the magnetizing operation based on the detection signal. It can be determined whether or not it has been magnetized. The pass / fail judgment is performed for the magnetic flux density and the magnetization pitch of each magnetic pole, and the magnetization pitch can be detected from the sign of the magnetic flux density detected by the magnetic sensor 30. Since the magnetization result can be inspected together with the magnetization operation, it is not necessary to separately perform an inspection process for quality control after the magnetization operation.

  The overall control device 22 can control the strength of the alternating current based on the magnetic flux density detected by the magnetic sensor 30. The overall control device 22 sends a control signal for adjusting the amount of current to the control circuit 21 so that the difference in magnetic flux density between the magnetic poles becomes small, and the control circuit 21 calculates the alternating current value based on the control signal. Feedback control can be performed. Further, the overall control device 22 can feedback control the rotational speed of the motor 12 so as to suppress an error in the magnetization pitch detected by the magnetic sensor 30.

A measurement example is shown. The number of magnetic poles of the magnetized body is 96, and in the measurement, the magnetizing device provided with the magnetizing head 16 in the first configuration example is used as the magnetizing device of the present embodiment. Two magnetized bodies were each magnetized by a magnetic method.

  A table comparing the magnetic flux density distributions of FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 is shown in Table 1 below.

  As is apparent from FIGS. 9 to 11 and Table 1, in the magnetization by the magnetizing device (the device of the present application) in this embodiment, the average magnetic flux density (mT) is not limited to the conventional rotary magnetizing device. A value larger than that of the one-shot magnetizing apparatus could be obtained. Also, with regard to the magnetization pitch accuracy (maximum single pitch accuracy and minimum single pitch accuracy), it was possible to obtain a higher pitch accuracy than the conventional one-shot magnetizing device and the conventional rotary magnetizing device.

Moreover, the magnetizing apparatus in this Embodiment is applicable, for example, also when magnetizing the strip-shaped to-be-magnetized body 1 shown in FIG.12 (b) so that polarity may change linearly. Linear multipole attachment is achieved by relatively sliding the magnetizing head 16 or the strip-shaped magnetized body 1 in a predetermined linear magnetization direction that alternately changes the polarity of the strip-shaped magnetized body 1. Magnetism is possible.
