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.

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 shown in Fig. 2, the wire rod 6a is formed by knitting the wire rod 6a into a ring shape, laminating the material ebt and then forming it into a mold.The wire rod 6a is made of soft steel or hard steel. Ferrous materials such as steel or stainless steel, and non-ferrous materials including copper, aluminum, or their alloys are used. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the metal wire entangled body 6, which is formed into arbitrary dimensions after laminating the materials 8b. By doing this, the metal wire entangled body 6 can be given an arbitrary porosity, and by selecting the material of the wire rod 6a and the heat treatment conditions,
You can obtain something with the elasticity of the beams. As described above, the metal wire intertwined body 8 is filled with magnetic fluid, and when the rotary shaft 1 is attached to the through-hole, the permanent magnet 2, the annular pole piece 3, the rotary shaft 1. Corresponding to the magnetic path formed by the path of the annular pole piece 4, the magnetic fluid is attracted to the minute gap created between the annular pole pieces 3, 4 and the rotating shaft 1. Therefore, the seal portion 7 is formed by the magnetic fluid attracted to this minute gap, and the inside and outside of the device are completely sealed.

。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. Any material may be used as long as it has a predetermined porosity at the bottom.

である空隙率のコントロールが。As is clear from the above description, according to the dense 14 device according to the present invention, even if the magnetic fluid forming the seal portion deteriorates or scatters, the magnetic fluid held in the intertwined metal wire structure remains intact. Since the sealing portion is sequentially replenished, the sealing effect can be maintained for a long time. Moreover, since this metal wire entangled formation body can reliably control the size of the gap that holds the magnetic fluid, it is possible to make the replenishment speed extremely quick even if the magnetic fluid is scattered from the seal part. , the sealing effect does not deteriorate temporarily, and the porosity, which is the size of the space that holds the magnetic fluid, can be controlled.
