Title: Design formulas for the strength, compensation and trimming of hybrid permanent magnets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:431658

Hybrid permanent magnets provide an economical source of fixed- strength magnets. The field shape is controlled by the shape and condition of iron pole tips while the strength is determined by geometry and the quantity and quality of the permanent magnetic materials. We will derive here simple formulas for calculating the strength of simple hybrid magnets when driven by materials with linear {bold B-H} curves in the region of interest ( SEM). We will also show how to tune the strength by shunting flux with iron shims to change gap heights. The same calculational techniques will allow design of temperature compensation based on shunting flux in a temperature dependent fashion using ferromagnetic materials with a low Curie temperature.
