SSA XCON 15"

I was wondering why the Xcon is able to have such a high BL despite only having a single magnet slug?

FEA optimized.

Really, number of magnets is only part of the solution. The way the top and bottom plate are configured and , gap height, how tight the coil is in the gap etc. all have an effect.

So in other words simply FEA optimized.

I realize that there are many factors in this situation but I really wanted to hear about the strength of the magnet in question. I emailed SSA and they gave me a good answer.

In case anyone was wondering, here was the email:

Hello Tyler,

The Xcon has a single, larger magnet that's flux field is very concentrated and

has a higher motor force due to the greater surface area of the magnet. For the

most part, a larger single slug can have greater motor force then a triple stack

of smaller slugs. The larger, steeper back plate is fully saturated and has a

shorting ring. This way is much more expensive to build, but can yield a little

more performance and it also does not look like every other triple stack driver

out there.

What else can we help answer?

Thanks,

Aaron

It's pointless to stack a bunch of ferrite together and expect huge motor force. That represents supreme misunderstanding of motor design

I thought it had a flux capacitor.
