fig1 shows a permanent magnet having surface protrusions facing a steel plate having matching holes . this particular configuration is suitable for the attachment of permanent magnets to numerous surfaces . permanent magnet 2 is shown having a north pole face 4 and a south pole face 6 . also shown are protrusions 8 extending outward from south pole face 6 . steel portion 10 is shown having top surface portion 12 facing south pole face 6 of permanent magnet 2 . holes 14 are blind holes drilled into top surface 12 of steel portion 10 and are shown in matching alignment with protrusions 8 of permanent magnet 2 . the resulting fit between permanent magnet 2 and steel portion 10 forms a good bond with a bonding agent ( not shown ). in addition , the interlocking geometry helps to maintain good magnetic conductivity at the magnet to steel interface with the bonding of permanent magnet 2 to steel portion 10 . protrusions 8 extending outward from south pole 6 of permanent magnet 2 may be formed by compressing a water based slurry of a suitable magnetic material such as strontium ferrite into the voids of a flexible rubber mold followed by careful removal and subsequent sintering at elevated temperatures . depending on the permanent magnet material , it may be desirable to carry out the sintering process in the presence of a magnetic field . fig2 shows a permanent magnet having

suitable for bonding permanent magnets into steel motor housings . it should be noted that the opposite configuration may be employed with the permanent magnet having the holes and the inner surface of the motor housing having beads or bead like protrusions . this configuration may provide enhanced bonding properties that are desirable in permanent magnet electric motors . tight spacing of permanent magnet material and the motor housing is still preserved and therefore the integrity of the magnetic circuit is preserved as well . fig3 shows a cross sectional view of two curved permanent

28 is shown having its south pole face against steel motor housing 30 and its north pole face pointing inward toward the central portion of steel motor housing 30 . this is a commonly employed permanent magnet assemblies used with brush timed d . c . permanent magnet motors . unfortunately while being rather effective in design , this particular construction may not be best suited for rare earth permanent magnet motors run at high temperatures and under the conditions of high torque . an improved construction is shown in fig4 . fig4 shows a cross sectional view of curved permanent

magnet 64 . protrusions 76 from top surface 74 of steel portion 72 are shown in matching alignment with holes 70 of permanent magnet 64 . it should be noted that for fig1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , and 6 that the holes may be modified from straight wall geometry to a geometry that may represent a hollow cavity having more of a spherical shape than the standard cylindrical shape of traditional holes . the spherically modified holes may be produced in a variety of ways including angled machining , chemical etching and edm ( electrode discharge milling ). holes modified in this manner may provide improved anchorage for the finished part when employing bonding agents . fig7 shows a cross sectional view of a permanent magnet having ultra low profile protrusions for bonding to another surface .

portions 88 of hour glass shaped protrusions 78 . bottom portions 88 of hour glass shaped protrusions 78 are shown having significant contacting surface area with top surface portion 82 of permanent magnet portion 80 thereby establishing significant pathways for the efficient transference of magnetic flux from top surface portion 82 of permanent magnet portion 80 and bottom portions 88 of hour glass shaped protrusions 78 . hour glass shaped protrusions 78 extending in an outward direction from top surface portion 82 of permanent magnet portion 80 may be formed by casting an aqueous slurry of a suitable magnetic material ( such as strontium ferrite ) into a mold made from a burnable material and subsequently sintering . the sintering process may therefore be used to simultaneously form
