Abstract
A magnetic core includes an array of permanent magnets bonded to a cylindrical core. The magnets are formed of an extruded magnetic composite material containing a neodymium-boron-iron alloy. The magnetic core contains regions of alternating magnetic polarization arranged to create a multipole structure. Such extruded magnets easily constructed at low cost and offer close magnetic pole spacing with little or negligible surface discontinuity.
