Abstract
A cage with a fastening system (1) in a magnetic resonance device (MRD) is disclosed, said cage in an MRD comprising (a) M pole pieces (45) (M≥2); (b) N side magnets (20) (N≥2), said side magnets substantially enclosing said pole pieces and thereby defining a magnetic envelope and enclosed volume therein; (c) N side walls (10), said side walls substantially enclosing said side magnets; (d) P face walls (30) (P≥2); and (e) a plurality of fastening rods (100); wherein each of said fastening rods physically interconnects at least one pair of side walls, passing through at least one of said side magnets and at least one of said pole pieces.
Claims21
A magnetic resonance device (MRD) comprising:
- two main magnet assemblies in a spaced-apart face-to-face relationship defining a sample cavity therebetween;
- and
- a metallic cage enveloping said two main magnet assemblies and comprising a fastening system,
- wherein:
- each of said two main magnet assemblies comprises a main magnet, a pole piece positioned on a face of said main magnet and a plurality of side magnets arranged around one or more sides of one or more of said main magnet and said pole piece, and
- said cage comprises a plurality of side walls and a plurality of face walls and said fastening system comprises a plurality of fastening members adapted to secure and fasten said cage around said magnet assemblies.
