PRODUCTION DATA
In this particular case, there are several N42 magnets available from other prior projects. As the desired transition region is where the magnet surface is at least 12 mm (10 mm + 2 mm) away from the sensor, we try an initial design with one of our larger magnets (3/8" × 3/16" × 3/16"). Figure 9-8 shows the respective curve for this magnet along the movement along with the magnetic thresholds of the TMAG5231B1DQDBZ.
While the Bz magnitude adequately exceeds the BOPMAX, it does not quite reach the BRPMIN. Therefore, the user must make some adjustments so that Bz falls below BRPMIN within the desired operating range. To reduce Bz, there are a few options. The user can offset the magnet or choose a smaller magnet. After iterating through increasing x-offsets and y-offsets as well as decreasing magnet thicknesses, the user can eventually find a solution that works. In this case, a 3/8" × 3/16" × 1/16" N42 magnet with no x or y offset from the sensor center is used. Figure 9-9 and Figure 9-10 shows the curves corresponding to the final magnet parameters.
