Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a method for producing a rotationally-symmetrical, hollow-cylindrical housing having two magnetizable housing parts arranged to straddle a non-magnetic housing zone thereby isolating the housing parts magnetically. The housing is prefabricated, for the sake of simplified, more-economical manufacture, in one piece from a magnetizable blank except for an excess dimension in the outer diameter (d), and an annular groove which is cut into the inner wall of the housing to the width of the desired housing zone. With the housing rotating, a non-magnetizable filling material is introduced into the annular groove, the vicinity of the annular groove being heated during this process, and the rotation of the housing is continued until the filling material has set. Then the housing is turned down on the outside until the final dimension of the outer diameter (d) is attained and at which time there is then no further connection between the magnetizable parts.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 160 words
A method of producing a hollow cylindrical body having two magnetizable body parts separated by a non-magnetic material from a piece of magnetizable stock comprising the steps of: machining said chylindrical body to produce a cylindrical outer wall of uniform diameter with a flange at one end thereof, forming an axial through bore in said body, said through bore having successively different diameters, machining an annular recess in said through bore in one of said diameters, heating said cylindrical body in an area of said annular recess while rotating the same, introducing a fluid filler of non-magnetizable material into said annular recess while continuing to rotate said body, cooling said body, and turning said outer wall of said cylindrical body to expose said non-magnetic filler material, thereby producing axially spaced magnetizable cylindrical body portions secured by a non-magnetizable cylindrical body portion of filler material having the same radial thickness as said axially spaced body portions secured to said filler material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 160 words
A method of producing a hollow cylindrical body having two magnetizable body parts separated by a non-magnetic material from a piece of magnetizable stock comprising the steps of: machining said chylindrical body to produce a cylindrical outer wall of uniform diameter with a flange at one end thereof, forming an axial through bore in said body, said through bore having successively different diameters, machining an annular recess in said through bore in one of said diameters, heating said cylindrical body in an area of said annular recess while rotating the same, introducing a fluid filler of non-magnetizable material into said annular recess while continuing to rotate said body, cooling said body, and turning said outer wall of said cylindrical body to expose said non-magnetic filler material, thereby producing axially spaced magnetizable cylindrical body portions secured by a non-magnetizable cylindrical body portion of filler material having the same radial thickness as said axially spaced body portions secured to said filler material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
A method as defined in claim 1, in which said filler material is solder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
A method as defined in claim 2, in which said solder is combined with chrome-nickel steel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
A method as defined in claim 1, in which said annular recess is T-shaped in cross-section and further wherein a horizontal portion of said T-shaped recess is of greater length than a vertical portion thereof.
