Abstract
A measuring mechanism for a wide-angle moving coil measuring system and a method for its assembly. The mechanism includes concentrically arranged inner and outer pole rings. The rings terminate in arms between which a slot or spacing is arranged. The spacing is accessible from outside the mechanism in which spacing is a pre-assembled movable part having an axle or two axle-stubs, and moving coil frame is inserted into the internal space of the inner pole ring. The magnets are arranged to be positive-locked with the pole rings. Two arrangements of magnets cooperating with the pole rings are disclosed. Various embodiments and methods of assembly are disclosed.
Claims9
A measuring mechanism for wide-angle moving coil systems, comprising:
- a mount with a movable part, and a magnetic system including an inner and an outer pole ring and two magnets, wherein a form-locking arrangement of said magnets and said pole rings relative to each other is provided such that said pole rings are mutually centered and fixed in this position in any direction, wherein each of said two pole rings terminates in two arms between which there is arranged a slot or spacing, said inner pole ring having an inner space for receiving the corresponding parts of said movable part including a part of a moving coil frame, which inner space is accessible from the outside through the slot arranged between the arms of said inner pole ring and the width of said slot is dimensioned in such a way that the pre-assembled unit including said mount and said movable part and its corresponding parts can be inserted through said slot into said internal space of said inner pole ring, said measuring mechanism also comprising a measuring mechanism carrier including support arms which extend over said magnetic system and support said magnetic system and said movable part, said support arms having external dimensions whose projection on said magnetic system extends, independent of its rotary position, over said magnetic system, particularly over the region of said outer pole ring, and said pole rings being dimensioned relative to each other and to said movable part so that they can be brought into the operating position in or through said movable part.
In a method for the assembly of the measuring mechanism for a wide-angle moving coil system having a mount with movable part and a magnetic system having inner and outer pole rings and two magnets, said mount with movable part including a frame for supporting an axle of the movable part, said method including the steps of initially pre-assembling, counterbalancing and adjusting the mount with movable part itself, then placing the inner pole ring within the outer pole ring, shifting the pole rings relative to each other so that an enlargement of the air gap occurs on one side, subsequently inserting an arm of the inner pole ring into the frame, the frame having an inner part on which the axle is arranged and an outer part, moving the inner frame part into a slot between the arms of the inner pole ring and moving the outer frame part into the enlarged air gap, shifting or turning both pole rings in their plane into final operating position and subsequently fixing the rings in form-locking manner in their operating position by means of the mangets.
