Cold iron magnets use the iron yoke and skin for mechanical support of the collared coil assembly. A variety of designs, including horizontally and vertically split yokes, collarless'' magnets and conductor block geometries, have been considered for use with collared coils. This note qualitatively compares the support mechanisms by estimating the amount of coil overcompression'' necessary for the magnet to achieve the same mechanical condition in the cold, powdered state. These designs inspect magnet limitations by suggesting means to reduce the peak coil compressive load, allowing higher central magnetic fields to be reached.
