This is probably a simple one but I have yet to ever try it on purpose. Can I change the polarity orientation of ceramic type permanent magnets by brute force electromagnetic power?
Reason being I have a few big servo motors that are presently 8 pole designs but they use four ceramic magnets set up with both poles on the same side to make the eight fields.
I want to change these to four pole motors by changing the double pole side by side polarization setup they currently have on each magnet to be of a single front and back polarity configuration.
These are large Getty's servo motors that list for around $2500 - $3000 new so I would rather not kill one on a whim.
I have the capacity to generate a multi KW magnetic field per pole in the motors themselves for the new polarity configuration. I just dont know if it will properly reshape the ceramic magnets polarity layout by doing so.
