The top 5 articles on Motion Control Tips for 2018

December 19, 2018 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

We here at motioncontroltips.com are not immune to a little bit of end-of-year reflection. It’s an opportunity to do a reckoning of sorts and find out what you, our readers, liked most. So here is a short list of the top 5 most viewed posts published in 2018, starting with Number 5 and building our way to Number 1.

 


5) What is a Halbach array and how is it used in electric motors?

A Halbach array is arrangement of permanent magnets that creates a stronger field on one side while reducing the field on the other side to near zero. This is accomplished by orienting the magnets so that their poles are out of phase, typically by 90 degrees. This orientation essentially re-routes the magnetic field below the structure (the “non-working” surface) to the plane above the structure (the “working” surface), strengthening the magnetic field of the working surface and reducing the field of the non-working surface to nearly zero.
