Abstract
Abstract One of the annular magnets used in a magnetic drive for pumps and other devices is enclosed on the outside in a thin metal jacket. The jacket and the interior of the magnet and preferably one end thereof are filled with a plastic material which is apertured to receive the shaft on which the magnet is to be mounted. Means is provided in the plastic material for balance weights. The jacket and plastic are impervious to fluids being pumped so that the fluids are not contaminated and the magnet is not attacked by the fluids. A preferred method of making the combination is disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
An encapsulated rotatable magnet structure comprising an annular magnet having poles around its periphery and having an outer and an inner cylindrical surface and first and second substantially planar faces, the inner surface of said magnet being remote from the axis of rotation of said structure, a metallic jacket having a cylindrical portion positioned immediately outside said outer surface, said jacket having an in-turned flange on one edge of said cylindrical portion bearing against said first face and terminating in a short axially in-turned portion spaced inward of one edge of said inner cylindrical surface, said jacket having a slight inward bend on a second edge of said cylindrical portion crimped tightly against the corner where said second face and said outer cylindrical surface intersect and a central member having a hub formed with an axial bore formed to receive a shaft, said hub sealing against said inner surface and surrounding said in-turned portion, said central member having a flange sealing against said second face and surrounding said inward bend.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
An encapsulated rotatable magnet structure comprising an annular magnet having poles around its periphery and having an outer and an inner cylindrical surface and first and second substantially planar faces, the inner surface of said magnet being remote from the axis of rotation of said structure, a metallic jacket having a cylindrical portion positioned immediately outside said outer surface, said jacket having an in-turned flange on one edge of said cylindrical portion bearing against said first face and terminating in a short axially in-turned portion spaced inward of one edge of said inner cylindrical surface, said jacket having a slight inward bend on a second edge of said cylindrical portion crimped tightly against the corner where said second face and said outer cylindrical surface intersect and a central member having a hub formed with an axial bore formed to receive a shaft, said hub sealing against said inner surface and surrounding said in-turned portion, said central member having a flange sealing against said second face and surrounding said inward bend.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A magnet structure according to claim 1 in which said magnet is ceramic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A magnet structure according to claim 1 in which said magnet comprises a pair of annular magnets side-by-side.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A magnet according to claim 2 in which said central member is formed with a plurality of holes in a concentric pattern to receive weights to balance said magnet.
