Compositepro - what I'm using works well but you make a great point that I could still be using something better. I'll look into sourcing that. Any recommendations?
Skogsgurra - As I said, the original core works well so I've have got the phases and timing worked out with the coils. The problem has be the core. Thanks for responding.

The rotor (magnetic bar) is a permanent magnet and the core is plain carbon steel It rotates on the stators vertical axis typically 1" above the stator and it is horizontal. The frequency varies from 1hz to about 20hz. I had looked into lamination but since the original design worked perfectly...
Thanks. This is a simple mag drive that does a number of things but it's main function is similar to a magnetic stirrer you'd see in a lab. It engages a magnetic bar and rotates it around what you would picture as the center vertical axis of the stator. The gap can be anywhere from 1/2" to 2". I...
I've been working on the design of a stator and have been trying to redesign what I have to make it smaller, simpler and cheaper to build. But the design I want to go to doesn't seem to be as effective as the original. The original uses (2) 1/2" steel bars bent into a U almost like a triangle...
