Abstract
Abstract A ring (1, 1') to be attached to a rotary body (42) for producing a magnetic signal in cooperation with a magnetic sensor (38) relative to which the rotary body rotates, comprising: a magnetic ring member (2, 12, 22, 32) having an alternating magnetic property around a circumference thereof and made of synthetic resin in which magnetic material is dispersed; and a reinforcing ring member (3, 13, 23, 33) which is made of synthetic resin material and is substantially circumferentially coextensive with the magnetic ring member. Alternatively, the reinforcing ring may consist of a metallic band (24) which extends around the circumference of the ring. By thus reinforcing the resinous magnetic material, the cost of the ring can be reduced on the one hand and the increased mechanical strength of the ring allows easy handling and effective press fitting of the ring on the other hand. By forming the ring as a plurality of arcuate segment portions (2a, 2b 3a, 3b, 12a, 12b, 13a, 13b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b, 32a, 32b, 33a, 33b) the stocking and installing of the ring is facilitated.
