A sintered bearing is made of a sintered compact containing nickel silver (Cu—Ni—Zn) as a base. In the sintered bearing, P is not added in the sintered compact. Alternatively, a content of P in the sintered compact is less than 0.05 mass % in terms of mass ratio to a total mass. Consequently, crystal grains constituting the sintered compact can be micronized. In particular, in the sintered bearing, an average crystal particle diameter of the crystal grains constituting the sintered compact is 20 μm or less. Consequently, the mechanical strength and the vibration resisting properties can be improved, and the rotation shaft can be prevented from being damaged.

At least one parameter of a material is determined with a pressing tool usable for producing a green compact and a pressing tool for producing at least one green compact. The pressing tool has at least one planar surface which is formed at least in part by a die which, starting from the surface, extends along an axial direction and, on the surface, has a cavity which extends from the surface along the axial direction and has an inner circumferential surface; wherein the cavity forms a receptacle for a powdery material which can be pressed in the cavity by at least one punch plunging into the cavity along the axial direction to form the green compact.

A method for continuous manufacture of permanent magnets. A material sheet is formed into an open tube, having a lengthwise opening. Magnetic powder may be poured into the lengthwise opening on a continuous basis. The tube opening is then formed closed and sealed. The magnetic powder is magnetically pre-aligned by subjecting it to a first magnetic field. The tube containing the powder may be compressed into a desired shape, forming an elongated permanent magnet. After compression, the elongated magnet is magnetized by a second magnetic field in two-step process, wherein the elongated permanent magnet is subjected to a magnetic field from first magnetizing coil that is pulsed with a first electric current in a first direction, followed by a second magnetizing coil being pulsed with a second magnetizing electric current in a second direction. The elongated magnet may be formed into any arbitrary shape, such as a ring or coil.
