Abstract: Methods and means for the automated manufacturing of linear permanent magnet (PM) arrays in rows. A convergence device may be used that restricts movement of PM elements from PM cartridges as the PM elements are formed into PM array rows. The PM elements may be brought nearer as the PM elements travel through the convergence device while being restricted from magnetically aligning by flipping, translation, or other uncontrolled motion. Various means for movement of the PM elements through the convergence device are described as well as use of saturation bars and other means of securing PM array rows into a PM array.
