[0002] In 1979, Klaus Halbach, an American scholar, invented a special arrangement method of permanent magnet array, which is called Halbach array. In the Halbach permanent magnet array, due to the mutual superposition and offset of the magnetic fields, the magnetic field strength on one side of the permanent magnet array is greatly strengthened, and the magnetic field strength on the other side is greatly reduced. Under the condition of keeping the volume of the permanent magnet unchanged, the air gap density of the motor is improved by using the Halbach array.

In order to obtain better control effect, some precision devices, such as linear motors that provide power for nanoscale positioning equipment, need to make the permanent magnet array provide a nearly perfect sinusoidal magnetic field, and the magnetic field generated by the ordinary Halbach permanent magnet array has a large gap with the perfect sinusoidal magnetic field.
