Definitions

  • Each of the core holders contains at least one generally U- shaped core piece.
  • the core pieces are fixedly positioned in the associated core holder so that the tips, which are the extreme fiat surfaces at the ends of the core pieces bordering on the magnetic flux gaps, extend outwardly into the open side of the core holder.
  • the core tips and certain pads or portions of the open side of the core holder are lapped and polished to place them as closely in a plane as possible.
  • the manufacturer attempts to place the core tips and the pads in a common plane and in some instances the core tips are in a plane spaced from a plane through the pads. It might be mentioned that the present invention is especially useful in the latter instance; however, this is not critical to the present invention and will not be elaborated upon further.
  • the assembled core holder and associated core pieces make up a body-section that is usually a half-section two of which are joined with the open sides thereof in juxtaposition to form a transducer.
  • a magnetic flux gap is formed between the front core tips of mating core pieces in a transducer the dimensions of which are very critical to the magnetic characteristics thereof.
  • the relative positions of the rear core tips is generally important also, however, the magnetic finx gap between the front core tips is the gap usually utilized for tape contact and, therefore, to simplify this disclosure the front core tips will be referred to simply as core tips with the understanding that the rear core tips rre included where appropriate. It can be seen that the relative positions or alignment of the core tips is very important and has a substantial eflect on the magnetic characteristics of the magnetic flux gap.
  • the half-sections are generally fixedly attached together by some means such as screws or the 3,484,562 Patented Dec. 16, 1969 "ice like. Holes are formed in the core holders perpendicular to the open side and adjacent the edges, which holes are adapted to receive screws therein. The hole in one core holder is generally tapped and the mating hole in the opposite core holder is adapted to receive the body of the screw. It can be seen that once the core pieces are fixed in the core holders and the screw holes are formed the relative positions of the core tips are determined and only very slight variations can be accomplished under the best of conditions.
  • the screws and screw holes or other clamping means are generally situated at the edges of the core holders thereby applying pressure at the edges or corners of the assembled half-sections of a transducer.

  • the core pieces are generally U-shaped but when body-sections other than half-sections are utilized the core pieces might be simply in the form of a bar. Whatever the shape of the core piece a fiat portion or tip thereof cooperates with a similar flat portion or tip on a mating core piece to produce a magnetic circuit and flux gap.
  • a core piece is any of the various embodiments employed or that may be employed and a core tip is the portion of the core piece bordering the magnetic flux gap.
  • the clamping means and the core holders are constructed so that reference areas may be utilized during assembly of the half-sections which reference areas will provide sufficient alignment of the core tips for the general application. However, if a higher degree of alignment is desired, the relative positions of the half-sections may be varied after assembly to more closely align. the core tips. Once the half-sections are assembled and the desired alignment is achieved a small amount of adhesive is applied to the clamping means and the halfsections to maintain the relative positions during the remainder of the assembly.
  • the clamping means applies uniform forces at predetermined areas of the halfsections urging the half-sections and the core pieces contained therein together.
  • the instant clamping means is constructed so that the force it produces can be easily controlled to a given amount and tolerance. Also, the
  • each clamping means urges the core tips together uniformly and there is no danger of distortion due to nonuniform or too great a force on the half-sections. Since the force of each clamping means and the position of the clamping means relative to the half-sections can be closely controlled, groups of transducers can be constructed wherein each transducer in the group has magnetic characteristics substantially similar to any other transducer in the group. In addition to the above advantages core holders having configurations or materials which make screws or other prior art clamping devices impractical can be utilized in conjunction with the present clamping means.
