Magnetic fringe field and control area
This table shows the effects of the magnetic fringe field on devices located in the vicinity
of the magnet and the safety distances required. Observe the minimum distances to be
maintained from the center of the x, y, and z axes of the magnet.
Magnetic flux
density Minimum distances
(x = y = radial, z = axial)
