Abstract

An improved magnetopermanent plate, constituted by a metallic body with high magnetic permeability, in the active plane of which there are provided hollow seats for accommodating corresponding coils composed of turns of electrically conducting wire covered with a sheath made of a material based on fluorocarbon resins; the turns are further mutually bound by means of a vitreous medium and are enclosed in a likewise vitreous protective element; the coils can be accommodated in the hollow seats, between which magnetopermanent means with a low polarization temperature coefficient are accommodated; means are provided for retaining the coils in the corresponding hollow seats.

Claims

1. An improved magnetopermanent plate, constituted by a metallic body with high magnetic permeability, in the active plane of which there are provided hollow seats for accommodating corresponding coils, wherein said coils are composed of turns of electrically conducting wire covered with a sheath made of a material based on fluorocarbon resins, said turns being further mutually bound by means of a vitreous medium and being enclosed in a likewise vitreous protective element, said coils being arrangeable in said hollow seats, between which magnetopermanent means with a low polarization temperature coefficient are accommodated, means being provided for retaining the coils in the hollow seats.

2. The plate according to claim 1, wherein said vitreous medium for binding the turns is constituted by a tape-like body which can be wrapped around said turns.

3. The plate according to claim 1, wherein said protective element is constituted by a peripheral wrapping.

4. The plate according to claim 1, wherein said magnetopermanent means with low polarization temperature coefficient are constituted by blocks which are interposed between two adjacent portions of the coils.

5. The plate according to claim 1, wherein said means for retaining the coils in the corresponding hollow seats are constituted by poured silicone resin.

6. The plate according to claim 1, wherein said hollow seats can be closed in an upward region flush with said active plane with a pole extension having high magnetic permeability.

7. The plate according to claim 6, wherein said pole extension has transverse dimensions which are smaller than the width of said hollow seats, corresponding pairs of bilateral gaps remaining between said extension and said metal body.

8. The plate according to claim 7, wherein corresponding bars made of diamagnetic material can be inserted snugly and flush with said active plane in said pairs of gaps.

9. The plate according to claim 7, wherein a silicone-based setting resin can be poured into said pairs of gaps.

10. The plate according to claim 1, wherein additional longitudinal seats are formed in said metal body and are alternated with said hollow seats or are arranged transversely thereto for the insertion of corresponding heating means.
