Electric magnetic detector of magnetic particles in a stream of fluid
First Claim
1. In an electrical magnetic detector adapted to be disposed in a passageway for a fluid to detect the presence of magnetic particles in said fluid, a magnet means comprising a cylindrical member having an axis and two polar masses of weakly magnetic material disposed along said axis surrounding opposite ends of the cylindrical member and spaced apart from each other by an air gap in which migration of said particles is concentrated, said two polar masses having external peripheral surfaces that converge toward each other and toward said axis;
- the improvement in which said cylindrical member is constituted by two annular magnets of the same length separated by a ring of magnetic material and having on ends of said magnets opposite said ring of magnetic material polar masses of the same magnetic material as said ring and having the same thickness as each other.

Abstract
An electrical magnetic detector disposed in the passage of a flow of fluid to detect the magnetic particles transported by that flow and to trigger an alarm after detection of a predetermined quantity of magnetic particles. It includes a magnet surrounded by two polar masses separated by an axial air gap. The external surface of the detector has, at least adjacent the air gap (4), peripheral surfaces (5, 6) converging toward the air gap. The detector is useful in the surveillance of wear members to detect the degree of wear thereof.
