Component Specifications

Definition
A magnet core is the central ferromagnetic structure within a bending magnet that provides a low-reluctance path for magnetic flux, enabling precise control of charged particle trajectories in accelerators, synchrotrons, and beamlines. It consists of laminated silicon steel sheets or solid ferrite blocks shaped to create a uniform magnetic field across the gap where particles pass.
Working Principle
The magnet core operates on electromagnetic principles: when current flows through surrounding coils, it magnetizes the core material, creating a concentrated magnetic field. The core's geometry (typically C-shaped or window-frame) shapes this field to bend charged particles via the Lorentz force, with field strength proportional to current and core permeability.
Materials
Cold-rolled grain-oriented (CRGO) silicon steel (M-5, M-6 grades), non-oriented electrical steel, or soft ferrite (Mn-Zn, Ni-Zn) for high-frequency applications; laminated to reduce eddy current losses; insulated with phosphate or oxide coatings.
Technical Parameters
  • Cooling Air or water-cooled, depending on power
  • Core Loss <1.5 W/kg at 1.5 T, 50 Hz
  • Gap Length 10-100 mm (adjustable for field uniformity)
  • Permeability 1500-5000 μr
  • Operating Frequency DC to 10 kHz
  • Saturation Flux Density 1.8-2.0 T (silicon steel), 0.4-0.5 T (ferrite)
Standards
ISO 683-17, DIN EN 10107

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of a magnet core in a bending magnet?

To concentrate magnetic flux and create a uniform field that bends charged particle beams via the Lorentz force, enabling precise trajectory control in accelerators.

Why are magnet cores laminated?

Lamination reduces eddy current losses by insulating layers, improving efficiency and preventing overheating in AC or pulsed applications.

How does material choice affect magnet core performance?

Silicon steel offers high saturation flux for strong fields, while ferrite provides low losses at high frequencies; selection depends on operating frequency and field strength requirements.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
