Abstract

A superconducting bearing is described, comprising: a plurality of permanent magnets magnetized end-to-end and stacked side-by-side in alternating polarity, such that flux lines flow between ends of adjacent magnets; isolating means, disposed between said adjacent magnets, for reducing flux leakage between opposing sides of said adjacent magnets; and a member made of superconducting material having at least one surface in communication with said flux lines.

Superconducting shielded PYX PPM (periodic permanent magnet) stacks

Patent Leupold, H

Periodic permanent magnet structures comprise a plurality of segments of transversely sliced or truncated hollow cylindrical flux sources each of which produces a uniform high-field in its central cavity. Each flux source has an axial tunnel through its magnetic poles. The sources are arranged linearly with adjacent flux sources in peripheral edge contact with their magnetic fields in alignment so as to form a continuous channel through which a beam of charged particles can travel. Superconducting sheets cover the end faces of each of the sliced flux sources. Patent applications. (RH)
