Abstract

Abstract A magnetic head is provided having a core of a soft-magnetic material with a comparatively low saturation magnetization and layers of a soft-magnetic material having a higher saturation magnetization than the material of the core on the gap-bounding faces. In order to avoid the detrimental effects of the non-magnetic transition zones between the material of the core and the layers of soft-magnetic material, which transition zones as it were form subsidiary gaps, the layers of soft-magnetic material on the gap-bounding faces have different thicknesses.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 83 words
A magnetic head having a core of a soft-magnetic material with a comparatively low saturation magnetization, a gap between two gap-bounding faces in the core, each of said gap-bounding faces being coated with a layer of soft-magnetic material having a higher saturation magnetization than the material of the core, transition zones which are poor magnetic conductors being present between the core and the layers of soft-magnetic material, characterized in that layers of soft-magnetic material of different thicknesses are provided on the gap-bounding faces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 83 words
A magnetic head having a core of a soft-magnetic material with a comparatively low saturation magnetization, a gap between two gap-bounding faces in the core, each of said gap-bounding faces being coated with a layer of soft-magnetic material having a higher saturation magnetization than the material of the core, transition zones which are poor magnetic conductors being present between the core and the layers of soft-magnetic material, characterized in that layers of soft-magnetic material of different thicknesses are provided on the gap-bounding faces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
A magnetic head as claimed in Claim 1, characterized in that the transition zones are intermediate layers which serve for bonding the layer of soft-magnetic material to the material of the core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
A magnetic head as claimed in Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the ratio of the thicknesses of the layers of soft-magnetic material on the two gap-bounding faces is between 1.15 and 2.
