An electromagnetic induced heating roller comprises a core member, an
elastic layer, induction heating layer, and a mold release layer in this
order from inside to outside. Further, a magnetic shield layer for
preventing a magnetic flux from penetrating into the core member is
interposed between the induction heating layer and the core member. The
production of an alternating magnetic field from a magnetic field
generating device, a leakage flux having penetrated through the induction
heating layer is trapped by the magnetic shield layer. As a result, most
of the impressed alternating magnetic flux is consumed for heating the
heating layer, resulting in an improvement in the heating efficiency. A
trouble is prevented which is generated by heating the bearing of the
core member.
