SmCo Magnets in Radiotherapy Equipment

Radiotherapy devices stand as some of the most advanced equipment for cancer treatment. A key component is the medical linear accelerator (linac), which uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to accelerate charged particles like electrons to high energies.

SmCo magnets excel in ensuring the stability of the magnetic field under high-radiation conditions within the linear accelerator. They are crucial for controlling the motion of the high-energy electron beams, which can be used directly for treating superficial tumors or indirectly by using X-ray to treat deep-tissue tumors.
