Abstract

The present invention relates to a magnet having a linear magnetic flux density, which causes the magnetic flux density thereof to vary linearly and, more particularly, to a magnet having a linear magnetic flux density, in which the shape and magnetization pattern of the magnet are changed so that displacement in proportion to linearly varying displacement from the magnet is more accurately measured using a magnetic flux sensor, thus causing the magnetic flux density to vary linearly (or rectilinearly) according to the displacement. The present invention is configured to have a rectangular shape or a trapezoid shape so that displacement in proportion to linearly varying displacement from the magnet is more accurately measured using a magnetic flux sensor, and is configured such that the value of magnetic flux density varies linearly (rectilinearly) according to the magnetization pattern of the rectangular shape or a trapezoid shape.

Claims (10)

1. A magnet having a linear magnetic flux density, the magnet being used for a sensor for measuring distance, wherein the magnet is configured to have a rectangular shape, and N and S-poles of the magnet are magnetized along a boundary that is curved in a form of a sinusoidal wave in a diagonal direction from an edge of the rectangular-shaped magnet.

2. The magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the N or S-pole constituting the magnet generates a linear magnetic flux density according to variation in distance varying along a rectilinear line, which is spaced apart from a surface of the N or S-pole by a predetermined distance and is parallel to the surface of the pole.

3. The magnet according to claim 2 , wherein the magnetic flux density, which is generated by the N or S-pole constituting the magnet, varies linearly according to the surface of the N or S-pole.

4. The magnet according to claim 2 , wherein the magnetic flux density, which is generated by the N or S-pole constituting the magnet, is measured by a sensor based on a distance varying along a rectilinear line, which is spaced apart from a surface of the pole by a predetermined distance and is parallel to the surface of the pole, and maintains linearity depending on varying distance.

5. The magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic flux density, which is generated by the N or S-pole constituting the magnet, is measured by a sensor based on a distance varying along a rectilinear line, which is spaced apart from a surface of the pole by a predetermined distance and is parallel to the surface of the pole, and maintains linearity depending on varying distance.

6. The magnet according to claim 3 , wherein the magnetic flux density, which is generated by the N or S-pole constituting the magnet, is measured by a sensor based on a distance varying along a rectilinear line, which is spaced apart from a surface of the pole by a predetermined distance and is parallel to the surface of the pole, and maintains linearity depending on varying distance.

7. A magnet having a linear magnetic flux density, the magnet being used for a sensor for measuring distance, wherein the magnet is configured such that a left surface thereof is higher than a right surface thereof, and a top surface thereof is slanted, and is configured to have a rectangular shape, wherein the magnet generates the linear magnetic flux density according to variation bar distances varying along rectilinear lines that are formed between a point A as a measurement starting point and an arbitrary points B as a measurement end point, wherein the point A and the arbitrary points B are spaced apart from a surface of a N or S-pole constituting the magnet by respective predetermined distances, and wherein the point A is disposed apart from an upper end of the right surface of the magnet and the arbitrary points B are disposed a art from an upper end of the left surface of the magnet forming different angles relative to point A, wherein the N and S-poles are magnetized such that respective widths of left and right surfaces of the magnet have a ratio of 1-2:2-4.

8. The magnet according to claim 7 , wherein the magnetic flux density of the magnet varies linearly according to the surface of the N or S-pole.

9. The magnet according to claim 8 , wherein the magnetic flux density of the magnet is measured using a sensor based on distances varying along the rectilinear lines that are formed between the point A and the arbitrary points B such that linearity depending on varying distances is maintained.
