Abstract

A semi-analytical description of the 3-D magnetic field distribution of a cylindrical quasi-Halbach permanent magnet array is derived. This model avoids the necessity of time-consuming finite element analyses and allows for fast parameterization to investigate the influence of the number of segments on the magnetic flux density distribution. The segmented magnet is used to approximate an ideal radial magnetized ring in a cylindrical quasi-Halbach array. The model is obtained by solving the Maxwell equations using the magnetic scalar potential and describes the magnetic fields by a Fourier series.
