This study presents findings from the Varian Magnet investigations conducted on three separate occasions from 2011 to 2013. Each test analyzed the magnetic performance of ferrous materials with varying air gap and pole configurations, including samarium-cobalt and neodymium magnets. Key metrics included estimated clamp force per unit, which was approximately 35 lb for samarium-cobalt and 80-90 lb for neodymium configurations. Additionally, leakage flux measurements were taken above and below the pole surfaces, revealing values below 0.005 T and 0.010 T, respectively, one inch away from the unit.
