About the Influence of the Magnetic Field Configuration on the Levitation Characteristics of the System Superconductor – Array of Magnets

Interaction of a superconductor with an array of magnets having different orientations of the magnetization vector is theoretically investigated. Based on a critical state model, the interaction force arising in the system superconductor – array of magnets is calculated by the method of finite elements. Optimal configurations of the magnetic system are established in which maximum values of both attractive and repulsive forces are created.
