SmCo-BASED RARE EARTH SINTERED MAGNET
To provide an SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet having a small diameter and a multipolar magnetized magnetic structure and having a high coercive force and a high magnetization rate. The outer shape of an SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet having a coercive force HCJ (kOe) at a room temperature (° C.) of 7.5 (kOe)<HCJ≦27 (kOe) is formed into any one of a cylindrical shape, a ring-like shape, a columnar shape, and a disk-like shape. Multi-pole magnetization is performed on the SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet so as to satisfy (diameter D/the number of poles p) (mm)<(4/π) (mm) (p is an even number equal to or greater than 4), and the magnetization rate is set to 80(%) or more.
1 . An SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet having an outer shape of any one of a cylindrical shape, a ring-like shape, a columnar shape, and a disk-like shape, an outer periphery or an inner periphery of the SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet being subjected to multipolar magnetization with the number of poles p (p represents an even number equal to or greater than 4), the SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet satisfying a relation of (a diameter D of a magnetization surface/the number of poles p) (mm)<(4/π) (mm), having a coercive force HCJ (kOe) at a room temperature (° C.) of 7.5 (kOe)<HCJ≦27 (kOe), and having a magnetization rate of 80(%) or more.
2 . The SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter D of the magnetization surface is equal to or smaller than 10 (mm).
