Abstract: The various embodiments of a rotationally-locking magnetic alignment system and components thereof are described herein, which enable position locking and self-alignment along stepwise rotational increments. In aspects, a rotationally-locking magnetic alignment system can include magnetic alignment components, where each magnetic alignment component can include an array of magnetic field-inducing components that possess a particular magnetic polarity such that a first magnetic alignment component can attract, magnetically couple, and positionally lock a complementary second magnetic alignment component. In implementations, the array of magnetic field-inducing components can be arranged in one or more patterns, within the first magnetic alignment component and/or the second magnetic alignment component, allowing for the first magnetic alignment component to be positionally locked at any number of stepwise rotational increments.
