Abstract :
The coupling energy between elementary dipoles enables the calculation of forces and stiffnesses between small permanent magnets. The results are used to synthesize all the different basic configurations of magnetic bearings and magnetic couplings. This method enables us to predict some of their specific properties and the approximate calculation of their characteristics. It can be extended to all devices where forces are created between permanent magnets.
