In the conventional device, the magnet 2 and yoke 3 are made of epoxy resin (for example, trade name Araidite) 5.
They were assembled by gluing them together and housed in the housing 6.

As a result, the magnet 2 and the yoke 4 due to temperature changes.
expands and contracts, and especially the resin used for bonding expands and contracts to a large extent, causing leaks between the yoke 4 and the magnet 2, or between the housing 6 and the magnet 2 or the yoke 4. A disadvantage is that the sealing effect between the magnetically captured yoke 4 and the shaft 1 is impaired. This drawback becomes more pronounced when the number of yokes 4 or magnets 2, ie, the number of stages of magnetic seals, increases.

FIG. 2 is a partially sectional view showing an example of the present invention. A flange 18b is provided on the side in contact with the vacuum device, and a cylindrical portion 18a is provided between the magnetic shaft 11 and the yoke 13.
The housing 18 made of a non-magnetic material is attached to the shaft 11 with a bearing 17.
A gap g is formed between the cylindrical portion 18a and the shaft 11 so that they do not come into contact with each other.

Then, a magnetic force is applied from the outside of the cylindrical portion 18a to the shaft 11 by the magnet 12 and the yoke 13,
By inserting the magnetic fluid 14 into the gap g formed between the cylindrical portion 18a and the shaft 11 and capturing it, it is magnetically captured at a position corresponding to the yoke 13, and a shaft sealing effect is obtained. Therefore, there is no risk of leakage and breakage between the magnet 2 and the yoke 3, or the housing 5, the magnet 2, and the yoke 3 as shown in the example in FIG. 1, and a long-life sealing device that is almost unaffected by temperature changes is obtained. becomes possible.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of essential parts showing another example of the present invention. In this example, a plurality of projections 28c are continuously formed on the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 28a of the housing at a position corresponding to the yoke 23. The magnetic fluid 24 is trapped between the protrusion 28c and the shaft 31, and a space S where no magnetic fluid exists is formed between adjacent magnetic fluids.

As described above, according to the present invention, a soft magnetic shaft, at least one annular permanent magnet, an annular yoke in contact with both sides of the annular permanent magnet, and a soft magnetic shaft disposed between the annular yoke and the shaft. It is composed of a cylindrical part and a non-magnetic housing provided with a flange part, and the magnetic fluid is inserted and captured between the cylindrical part and the shaft. However, since the magnetic fluid is always maintained within the cylindrical part, it will not leak to the magnet or yoke side, and the sealing effect will not be reduced due to a decrease in the amount of magnetic fluid due to leakage. It is possible to provide a sealing device with high performance and long life.
