Abstract

A permanent magnet magnetic circuit is provided capable of producing a unidirectional magnetic field substantially free of unnecessary perpendicular magnetic field components. A pair of main magnetic poles of opposite polarities are situated at a pair of opposite edge surfaces of a permanent magnet block for producing lines of magnetic force. One major surface of the block between the edge surfaces is provided with a channel where a pair of auxiliary magnetic poles are situated at opposed inner surface portions of the channel for controlling a middle portion of the lines of magnetic force to be linear.
