  • SmCo particular SmCo, NdFeB, SmFeN or a hard ferrite material, in particular SrFe, BaFe or a mixture of these materials.
  • the soft magnetic segments and the permanent magnet segments and possibly the insulator segments have an identical outer contour and are stacked aligned with each other.
  • a circular or angular outer contour of the stack can be provided.

After all, it is also easily possible for the entire stack 20 to be surrounded or enveloped by a suitable material.

  • This Umgie H or wrapping, for example, can be provided tubular, as it is indicated in Figure 2 by the dotted line and the reference numeral 60.
  • a sleeve-shaped sheath 60 has the advantage that the upper side of the uppermost soft-magnetic segment 22 and the underside of the lowermost soft-magnetic segment remain free in order to be able to lie directly against the yokes 10a and 10d mentioned in connection with FIG.
  • the envelope 60 is designed tubular in FIGS. 2 and 3 with the reference numeral 60.

  • FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment with a magnetic circuit 10 in E-shape.
  • the magnetic circuit 10 consists of a bottom transverse yoke 10a from which two yokes 10b, 10c extend upwardly away. Between these two legs 10b, 10c lies the already known stack 20.
  • FIG. 6 shows a magnetic circuit 10 in U-shape.
  • FIG. 7 shows a magnetic circuit 10 in UR form with a yoke 10a, which is transverse and has a rectangular cross-sectional contour. From this yoke 10a extends left also with rectangular cross-section, a yoke 10b in one piece upward. At the right end of the yoke 10a sits the already known stack 20 with its soft magnetic segments 22 and the permanent magnet segments 30 and an air gap 40th

  • Such cantilevered fields are responsible for ensuring that a large gap between two soft magnetic segments 22 is effective 13 has a larger cross-section. As a result, the magnetic resistance of the gap decreases, which is compensated by broadening the gap again.
  • the throttle shown in Figure 9 right has a single gap into which a permanent magnet segment 30 is inserted with a thickness of 5.0 mm and on this permanent magnet segment 30 directly above and below a soft magnetic segment 22 adjacent, this corresponds a throttle, as shown on the left in Figure 9 with seven columns, in each of which a permanent magnet segment 30 is inserted, these need only have a thickness of 0.495 mm.
