Spatial gradient of the static magnetic field B
0
The rise of the magnetic field as a function of the distance to the magnet is expressed by
the spatial gradient of B
0
. The following figures show lines with the same gradient in T/m.
The magnetic attraction force on a magnetically saturated ferromagnetic object is propor-
tional to this quantity.
Please note: Sometimes this quantity is expressed in G/cm (1 T/m = 100 G/cm).
⊗: At this location, the force on a magnetically saturated ferromagnetic object is greatest.
! The iso-magnetic contour lines are accurate to a value better than 1%. There is very lit-
tle influence from the environment to the scanner. The graphic shows the cover in
nominal position. On a variety of scanners, the position can vary ±5 mm in the axial
direction. The maximum value therefore has a tolerance of ±10%, as small geometric
deviations can cause a significant change in the value.
