The fastener assembly includes: a magnet-carrier assembly that includes a magnet that is fixed to a carrier member; and a base member that includes a base portion and a pivoting portion. The pivoting portion includes a head, a trunk, and an extension portion that is connected to the base portion. The extension portion includes a top side that connects a first peripheral surface to a second peripheral surface of the extension portion. A first end of the trunk is connected to the top side of the extension portion and a second end of the trunk is connected to the head. The base member is a unitary piece, and the head of the pivoting portion engages and retains the carrier member of the magnet-carrier assembly.

An ejector element with a trigger for a belt buckle sensor includes a plate-shaped ejector body and a trigger blade of a magnetic and/or metallic material for producing a change in a magnetic field of a Hall sensor or an inductive sensor. The ejector element is distinguished by the fact that the trigger blade is connected in one piece to the ejector body, wherein the one-piece connection between the trigger blade and the ejector body is produced by an injection-molding process.

A composite material incorporates multi-compartment microcapsules that produce heat when subject to a stimulus such as a compressive force or a magnetic field. The stimulus ruptures an isolating structure within the multi-compartment microcapsule, allowing reactants within the multi-compartment microcapsule to produce heat from an exothermic reaction. In some embodiments, the composite material is a laminate used in the manufacture of multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) and provides heat during the curing process of the multi-layer PCBs to ensure a consistent thermal gradient in the multi-layer product.

A magnet embedded core is manufactured in a stable manner by preventing an excessive pressurizing force from being applied to the laminated iron core and performing the clamping with an appropriate pressurizing force so that the leakage of the resin out of the magnet insertion holes can be minimized, and the reduction in the geometric and dimensional precision of the laminated iron core may be suppressed. An electric die clamping device is used, such that a laminated iron core is placed on one of a fixed die and a moveable die and upon clamping by the die clamping device, the other of the fixed die and the moveable die is caused to abut onto an end surface of the laminated iron core to close openings of magnet insertion holes and pressurize the laminated iron core in a laminating direction.

An apparatus for automated encapsulation of motor rotor core with magnet steel is introduced. The apparatus includes at least one encapsulation unit, a plastic granule feeding device, a waste removing device, a conveyance device and a control device. Under a coordinated control of the control device, a rotor core feeding mechanism of the encapsulation unit feeds rotor cores to a plastic dispensing mechanism in cycles, the plastic granule feeding device separates, outputs and dispenses plastic granules, so that they are arrayed before being dispensed onto the rotor cores, and the conveyance device conveys plastic granules and moves the waste removing device to carry waste to a waste removal zone. With these arrangements, it is able to realize automated feeding of rotor cores, automated feeding of plastic granules and automated removal of waste to achieve completely automated rotor core encapsulation operation while enables mass production of motor rotor cores.

The invention relates to a slot sealing compound (7) for an electrical machine that comprises at least one slot (2) with a slot opening (5) for receiving an electrical conductor arrangement (3). Said slot sealing compound (7) contains a magnetic filler material, particularly a soft-magnetic filler material, and a reactive resin mixture that comprises at least one resin component. In the interests of improving storage stability for said slot sealing compound (7), the components thereof are selected to be suitable for cationic polymerisation. A catalyst, provided to accelerate the cationic polymerisation of said reactive resin mixture, is also added to said slot sealing compound (7).

A method of manufacturing an annular insert molded article that suppresses contamination of a metal mold and generation of foreign matter without increase in material costs for an adhesive or contamination of a transfer jig, and has a high adhesion strength so that, when the annular insert molded article is attached to a rotating body, the adhesive does not peel off from the insert or remain as foreign matter in the rotating body. An annular insert molded article 1 is manufactured by injection molding in a state where a thermoset resin adhesive A is applied to a joining surface of an annular insert 2 attachable to a rotating body to an annular plastic 3 and then the annular insert 2 and the annular plastic 3 are placed in a metal mold.

The present invention relates to a composite component including a metal component having a substantially cylindrical shape or a substantially annular shape, and a ring-shaped bonded magnet disposed on the outer periphery of the metal component, the ring-shaped bonded magnet containing a thermoplastic resin, magnetic particles, and rubber particles.

Thermoplastic welding apparatus and related methods are disclosed. An example method includes providing a smart susceptor between composite parts that are to be joined via thermoplastic welding. The example method includes positioning the composite parts and the smart susceptor on a tooling surface within a cavity of a tooling apparatus and applying a seal to the composite parts and the tooling surface to form a vacuum chamber between the composite parts and the tooling surface at a welding joint of the composite parts; producing a magnetic field at the welding joint. The example method includes providing a vacuum in the vacuum chamber during a welding operation.
