3.2.8 Multi-pole Ring (Axial)

Figure 3-15 Multi-Pole Ring Magnet (axial)

The axial ring magnet is also a subdivided ring magnet, and each pole pair alternates in the Z-direction in even increments about the magnet. It is configured by selecting "Axial Ring" and then setting the pole pairs to any multiple of 4. The number of poles includes the divisions between top and bottom of the magnet. In #GUID-1858119B-6F32-48ED-9A6B-147CCAAA8773, the magnet has been defined using eight poles.

This magnet type is less common than the radial ring magnet, but can be used similarly. It is particularly useful when placing the sensor parallel to the circular face of the magnet.
