Gallery Spotlight -- Magnet Assemblies


Arbitrary motion due to rotating magnets
Presented here is an example of a two-pole rotating drum consisting of two pairs of magnets with opposing radial magnetization directions. The drum is free to rotate, as well as move freely in the plane of rotation, influenced only by magnetic and gravitational forces.

Case Studies

Example(s) of how you can develop real-life solutions using Infolytica software:

Note All Case Studies are in PDF format.

2D Static Problems (Translational):

  • Magnetic Latch with Permanent Magnet
    C-core permanent magnet -- This case study is similar in principle to the C-core Actuator 2D Case Study, except that the excitation for the magnetic circuit is provided by a permanent magnet. The objectives are to examine the magnetic field in the various parts of the magnetic circuit, and to determine the force on the square armature plate and the self-inductance of the coil.

3D Case Studies Static Problems:

  • Magnetic Latch with Permanent Magnet
    C-core permanent magnet -- This case study is similar in principle to the C-core Actuator 2D Case Study, except that the excitation for the magnetic circuit is provided by a permanent magnet. The objectives are to examine the magnetic field in the various parts of the magnetic circuit, and to determine the force on the square armature plate and the self-inductance of the coil.
