This work focuses on various components that receive less attention in the available literature, such as magnetic sensors, linear and latching solenoid actuators, stepper motors, rotary actuators, and other special magnetic devices including magnetic valves and heart pumps. Each chapter follows a consistent format, working from theory to design, applications, and numerical problems and solutions, along with examples to illustrate the discussion. Although the crux of the coverage resides in design and applications, the author also discusses optimization and testing, introduces magnetic...
