Abstract

PURPOSE:To uniform a layer of an adhesive, to improve the output characteristics and temperature characteristics, and to improve the sensitivity by adhering a magnetic layer to a shaft by using the adhesive with which many nonmagnetic balls with an equal diameter are mixed. CONSTITUTION:The magnetic layer 5 (6) is adhered to the passive shaft 1 with the adhesive with which many nonmagnetic balls 13 having the same diameter are mixed. The thickness of the adhesive layer 12 is determined by the diameter of the balls 13 and uniform, and stress transmitted from the passive shaft 1 to the magnetic layer 5 (6) through the adhesive 12 is also uniform. Then the output characteristics and temperature characteristics are improved and the sensitivity is improved. Variation in the magnetic permeability due to the stress generated in the magnetic layer 5 (6) is detected by a detection coil (not shown in figure) provided to the outer periphery of the shaft 1 and measured.

Next, the operation will be explained. When torque is applied from the outside to the passive shaft 1, stress is transferred from the passive shaft 1 to the magnetic layers 5 and 6 through the adhesive, creating a tensile force in one of the magnetic layers 5 and 6, and compression in the other. Force is generated and distortion occurs. When this strain occurs, the magnetic permeability of the magnetic layers 5 and 6 changes, and the magnetic permeability changes in opposite directions depending on whether the tensile force is applied or the compressive force is applied.

However, in the conventional strain detector described above, the thickness of the adhesive for bonding the magnetic layers 5 and 6 to the passive shaft 1 tends to vary, which causes variations in characteristics. That is, Young's modulus E1 and linear expansion coefficient β of the passive shaft 1

The figure shows a cross section of the main part of the strain detector according to this embodiment, and 12 is an adhesive mixed with a large number of non-magnetic balls 13 having the same diameter. For example, the non-magnetic ball 13 has a diameter of 1
Alumina balls with a diameter of 00 μm or less are used, and the nonmagnetic balls 13 are mixed in the ffl lit agent 12 at a weight ratio of 5%. When mixing, defoaming is performed by stirring in a vacuum. As the adhesive 12, a thermosetting liquid epoxy adhesive is used. Furthermore, the magnetic layers 5 and 6 have a Young's modulus of 165.
00 kg f/mm amorphous magnetic material is used. The magnetic layer 5.6 is adhesively fixed to the outer periphery of the passive shaft 1 via an adhesive 12 containing non-magnetic balls 13.

In the above configuration, the non-magnetic ball 13 is used because if a magnetic ball is used, it becomes a path for the magnetic flux generated by the detection coils 8 and 9, and the number of interlinked magnetic fluxes in the magnetic layers 5 and 6 decreases, resulting in a decrease in sensitivity. It is from. Further, the reason why an amorphous magnetic material is used for the at magnetic layer 6 is that it has a large magnetostriction constant and a large hardness, so that deformation and stress concentration are difficult to occur. Furthermore, the reason why the non-magnetic balls 13 are mixed into the adhesive 12 while stirring in a vacuum is because if stirring is performed in air, bubbles will be mixed in and the adhesive will become hard, making it impossible to perform sufficient stirring.

In the strain detector described above, the thickness of the adhesive 12 is approximately equal to the diameter of the non-magnetic ball 13, the thickness is uniform, and the error is within a few percent. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the stress transmitted from the passive shaft 1 to the magnetic layer 5.6 becomes uniform, and stable linear output characteristics can be obtained. Further, there is no variation in temperature characteristics, and when the magnetic layers 5 and 6 are used differentially, they are canceled out. Furthermore, by mixing the non-magnetic balls 13 into the adhesive 12, the hardness of the adhesive layer as a whole increases, the stress transfer ratio increases, the sensitivity improves, and the linear expansion coefficient β of the adhesive layer decreases. Therefore, the difference in β between the passive shaft 1 and the magnetic layers 5 and 6 becomes smaller, and thermal stress is reduced. In addition, efficiency is also improved due to improved sensitivity, and therefore the current applied to the detection coil 8.9 is also small (only a small amount is required), heat generation in the circuit portion is reduced, and changes over time are reduced.

Incidentally, as the non-magnetic balls 13, glass pieces, acrylic/polyethylene beads, etc. may be used. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the magnetic layer is bonded via an adhesive containing non-magnetic balls. The thickness of the adhesive is determined by the diameter of the non-magnetic ball, and the stress transferred from the passive shaft to the magnetic layer through the adhesive is also uniform.
