Controlled Uniform 2D Magnetic Field
For precisely uniform magnetic coverage across a plane, flat Halbach arrays stand alone. Their optimized planar design emits a scalable multidirectional field tailored to applications no other geometry can address. A simplistic, robust structure and lower cost of production provide added incentive.
Uniform 2D Magnetic Field Distribution
Flat Halbach arrays generate an precisely even magnetic field spread consistently across their planar surface. Their highly controlled 2D field geometry is fundamentally distinct from the linear field of a single axis produced by linear arrays or the volumetric field within a 3D space created by cylindrical arrays.
Static, Multidirectional Planar Field Emission
The magnetic field radiates uniformly in all lateral directions within the strict 2D plane of flat arrays, which proves optimal for applications requiring broad, even coverage across an area rather than a narrowly focused unidirectional or multidirectional field. Their spread planar field geometry provides consistent multidirectional coverage not achievable with alternative options.
Simplistic, Cost-Effective Design
Flat Halbach arrays have an elementary planar design consisting of magnets systematically arranged in a flat grid pattern, which is far more basic and affordable to implement than the complex linear or curved forms of other geometries. Their planar design avoids sophisticated mechanisms for field tailoring or emission control needed in some alternative options.
Continuously Scalable 2D Magnetic Field
The magnetic field of flat Halbach arrays can be progressively scaled up in direct proportion to the number of magnets over a wide surface area. Their planar modular design allows 2D field expansion impossible through simple scaling of the linear or cylindrical options which require more complex means to enlarge their fields.
Unchanging, Robust Physical Form
The static planar form of flat Halbach arrays provides an inherently rigid, durable structure even when greatly enlarged. Their unmoving design avoids potential issues of fragility or instability that could arise from the movable or pliable components found in certain linear or cylindrical options, especially at large scales.
Select Applications Optimally Served
While limited, flat Halbach arrays enable solutions where a precisely uniform magnetic field distributed over a substantial planar area is essential, such as magnetic carpets or 2D lithography. Their highly controlled planar field is uniquely suited to specific needs poorly addressed using alternative geometries ill-equipped to generate uniform 2D field coverage.
