We could create such a region of high field gradient over each of the four outer hall effect sensors using a simple arrangement of a central magnet with a surrounding annulus of opposite polarity. I EDM'ed a test arrangment out of a large neodymium magnet of 1/8" thickness. This went reasonably well, except for a small tab near the lead-in which was left due to the brittleness of the magnet material. + +<img src='magnet-arrangements/magnet-assembly-cuts.jpg' width=350px> +<img src='magnet-arrangements/magnet-assembly-3.jpg' width=350px> + +I put this magnet arrangement on my stage to test the resolution.
