Abstract The paper presents calculation of the force between two ring permanent magnets whose magnetization is
axial. Such configuration corresponds to a passive magnetic bearing. Magnets are made of the same material and
magnetized uniformly along their axes of symmetry, with the same intensity and same direct ion. The simp le and fast
analytical approach is used for this calculation based on magnetization charges and discretization technique. The results for
interaction magnetic fo rce obtained using proposed approach are compared with finite element method using FEMM 4.2
software. The proposed algorithm can be used for calculation of microwave devices based on magnetoelectric materials
with the use of permanent magnets.

Permanent magnets are commonly used in many electrical magnetization do not exist. n is the unit vector normal to
devices and their own quality depends on the magnet surface.
material, magnetization and dimensions. Most engineering
applications need several ring permanent magnets and the
determination of the magnetic force between them is thus
required. Magnetic bearings are contactless suspension
devices with various rotating and translational
applications[1]. Depending on the ring permanent magnet
magnetization direction, the devices work as axial or radial
bearings and thus control the position along an axis or the
centering of an axis. There are nu merous techniques for
analyzing permanent magnet devices and different
approaches for determining interaction forces between
them[2-5]. The authors generally use the Ampere's current
model[2,3] or the Co lu mbian approach[4].
