- the Halbach cylinder represents a symmetrical structure with respect to a plane of symmetry defined by the longitudinal axis of the cylinder and the homogeneous magnetic field direction B created by this cylinder.
- the elementary segments constituting the cylinder thus correspond two by two symmetrically on either side of this plane of symmetry and are magnetized in symmetrical directions with respect to this plane.
- the elementary segments disposed on the same side of the plane of symmetry are magnetized in directions gradually varying over a range of 360 ° depending on the angular position of the segment on the half-cylinder defined on the same side of the plane of symmetry.
