Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain the hermetically sealing effect for a long period by installing a metal wire confounding formation body for holding the magnetic fluid into a grooved space part formed by a cylindrical magnet and the annular pole pieces at the both edges of the cylindrical magnet and supplying the magnetic fluid into a seal part. CONSTITUTION:A grooved space part 5 is formed by installing annular pole pieces 3 and 4 which penetrate through a movable shaft 1, at the both edges of a cylindrical permanent magnet 2. A metal wire confounding formation body 8 for holding the magnetic fluid is installed into the grooved space part 5. Said metal wire confounding formation body 8 is formed by braiding the wire material made of iron, copper, aluminium, etc. into loop form, obtaining annular form, and laminating said loop and then obtaining a molded form by using a metal mold. Therefore, in case of deterioration and dispersion of the magnetic fluid which forms a seal part 7, said magnetic fluid for holding the metal wire confounding formation body 6 is supplied into the seal part 7, and the hermetically sealing effect is maintained for a long period, and production efficiency can be improved.

Devices with magnetic fluid seals generally have a fourth
As shown in the figure, a sealing device 22A and bearings B and C provided at both ends of the sealing device A are built into a seal housing D to form a unit. It is used by fixing it with a bolt (not shown) hg. Said sealing 2tA
A cylindrical permanent magnet 32 is provided on the outer ring of the movable shaft 31, and an annular pole piece 33 made of ferromagnetic material and having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the movable shaft 31 is provided on both sides of the permanent magnet 32. , 34, and this annular pole piece 3
A minute gap between the 3° 34 and the movable shaft 31 is filled with magnetic fluid to form a seal portion 35 to seal this gap. However, since magnetic fluid is a suspension in which fine ferromagnetic powder is stably dispersed, during long-term use, the solvent containing the activator that disperses the magnetic powder gradually evaporates or scatters. This poses a problem in that the sealing performance deteriorates. For this reason, a method of replenishing the magnetic fluid from outside the sealing device has been considered, but the device would be extremely complicated and would not be suitable for practical use. Therefore, recently, a ring-shaped member having a through hole is impregnated with magnetic fluid, and a ring-shaped member that is housed in a sealing device has been developed.

However, a ring-shaped member having a through hole as described above requires complicated pre-processing such as etching and bending, which poses a problem that it is difficult to accommodate sealing devices that require various dimensions. Furthermore, when a ring-shaped member with a through hole is impregnated with magnetic fluid, it is difficult to control the porosity of the ring-shaped member (size of the through hole, etc.). It takes several minutes to move into the magnetic circuit formed by the piece and the rotating body, and there is also the problem that deterioration of sealing performance cannot be adequately addressed.

As mentioned above, there are various materials for the intertwined metal wires, but magnetic steel can be used to collect the scattered magnetic fluid from the seal, while non-ferrous materials with high thermal conductivity can be used. Each material has its own advantages, such as a cooling effect against the heat generated by the magnetic fluid, and can be used depending on the need. Furthermore, the method for forming this metal wire entangled body is not necessarily carried out under certain conditions; as mentioned above, after laminating the ring-shaped materials 6b as shown in FIG. 2, gold y! Fi forming may be used, or the material of a flat plate made by knitting wire rods in a loop shape may be spirally formed and then molded.
