- Dipole ring magnets
- This is a magnetic circuit that generates a uniform strong magnetic field in a specific direction. This is an extraordinarily efficient magnetic circuit and looking at the ratio of the magnetic field generated to the weight of magnets used, this is the magnetic circuit that can be made most compact. The magnetic circuit is cylindrically shaped, with magnets placed along the circumference of the cylinder cross sections. The segment magnets are pasted into place in such a way that the magnetic orientation direction is continuous.
