In this paper, an anisotropic bonded NdFeB Halbach magnetised ring magnet, which is oriented in powder alignment system during injection moulding and subsequently impulse magnetised, is employed. The features of such a Halbach magnetised machine, in terms of the airgap field distribution, and the back-emf and cogging torque waveforms, etc. have been compared with those which result with a Halbach magnet having discrete magnet segments have previously been compared.
