Neodymium Halbach Arrays

Magnetstek’s NdFeB Halbach Arrays use rare earth magnets in a two-pole layout to generate over 1 Tesla focused magnetic fields. Designed without ferromagnetic materials, each array includes a durable brass sleeve and supports custom configurations for advanced magnetic applications.

What is a Halbach Array?

A Halbach Array is a special arrangement of permanent magnets that enhances the magnetic field on one side while canceling it on the other. This unique configuration results in a strong, unidirectional magnetic field, making it ideal for applications requiring precise magnetic control.

Key Features of Halbach Array Magnets

  • Enhanced Magnetic Strength: The Halbach Array design concentrates the magnetic field on one side, significantly boosting its strength compared to traditional magnet arrangements.
  • Reduced Stray Fields: By canceling the magnetic field on one side, Halbach Arrays minimize interference with surrounding equipment, enhancing operational efficiency.
  • Customizable Configurations: Our Halbach Arrays can be customized to meet specific size, shape, and field strength requirements, ensuring optimal performance for your application.

Applications of Halbach Array Magnets

Halbach Arrays are utilized across a wide range of industries due to their unique properties. Here are some prominent applications:

1. Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) Systems

Halbach Arrays are integral to the operation of magnetic levitation (maglev) systems, which are used in high-speed trains and frictionless bearings. The strong, directed magnetic field allows for stable and efficient levitation.

2. Electric Motors and Generators

In electric motors and generators, Halbach Arrays enhance efficiency by focusing the magnetic flux where it’s needed most. This leads to higher torque and power density, making these devices more efficient and compact.

3. Medical Imaging (MRI) and Equipment

The reduced magnetic interference of Halbach Arrays is crucial in medical applications, particularly in MRI machines. These arrays help create precise magnetic fields essential for high-resolution imaging.

4. Particle Accelerators

In particle accelerators, Halbach Arrays are used to control and direct beams of charged particles. Their ability to create strong, uniform magnetic fields makes them ideal for these high-energy environments.

5. Scientific Instruments

Used in a variety of laboratory equipment for precise magnetic field control.
