“…This leads to increased sensitivity to thermal demagnetization and limits their maximum temperature range [8,33]. The maximum use temperature for commercially available permanent magnets is typically less than 120°C [34].…”

“…Furthermore, previous investigations on the effects of irradiation on the properties of rare-earth permanent magnets indicate that one of the radiation-induced demagnetization mechanisms is due to the local heating along the orbit of charged particles penetrating through the magnet [17][18][19]. However, there is no report on the effects of heating on magnetic microstructures of rare-earth permanent magnets.…”

“…However, the superior magnetic properties of NdFeB magnets make them a good choice for many accelerator applications. For this reason there are many papers looking at their resistance to protons [4,6,7,8,9,10], neutrons [5,11,12,13,14], electrons [15,16,17,18,19] and gammas [17,20,21,22]. These studies show that the amount of demagnetisation observed is not dependent on the deposited energy, but depends on the type of particle [19].…”

This paper discusses design considerations for a water cooled high acceleration 3-phase air-cored brushless DC PM linear actuator used in a vacuum radiation environment. Radiation can cause damage to magnets, and the requirement for a vacuum chamber around the moving parts imposes additional constraints that further complicate the electromagnetic and mechanical design of the actuator. This paper discusses the selection of suitable materials and bearings that are compatible with operation in vacuum and can cope with the required millions of actuation cycles. The selection of suitable bearings with low friction and wear is discussed and the design of a low inertia shaft is described. The factors that have an influence on the susceptibility of the magnets to radiation damage are discussed. These factors include magnet dimensions, magnet material, external magnetic field, temperature and the directions of both the magnetic flux and radiation. FLUKA simulations are presented showing the fluences of protons, neutrons, electrons and gamma radiation to which the magnets are exposed.Based on these simulations, loss of magnetisation for different magnet materials can be predicted, and used to estimate the effect of magnet radiation ageing on actuator current, and increased temperature rise. The paper also presents transient electromagnet FEA computation of the force produced by the actuator when magnets are housed in a stainless steel vacuum chamber.
