Good reference texts? Permanent Magnet Geometries
(OP)
Anyone know any good reference texts for permanent magnet design?
I am working with Neodymium magnets and i am designing systems where the magnets are placed on a hub and used in conjunction with another hub to form a coupler or reduction from one shaft to another and i am trying to optimize the shapes of the magnets for my needs.
Any help would be great.

FAQ340-1436: What are some books that deal with magnetism?
The Moskowitz book is very good for the application you mentioned.
However, you may be better served by contacting an engineer at a magnet company. A straightforward magnetic coupling is pretty simple to design & source. A coupler to produce a gear reduction is a very complex design.
