1. A magnet array including plural permanent magnets, each having an approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape and having a sectional shape, perpendicular to one central axis of the rectangular parallelepiped, which is approximately square, and each having poles formed at both edge faces, one of which has the approximately square shape perpendicular to the central axis of the rectangular parallelepiped;

  • wherein the plural permanent magnets are arranged in such a manner that each center of gravity of the edge faces having the approximately square shape is matched with a lattice point of a tetragonal lattice, a certain side of sides forming one of the edge faces of the plural permanent magnets disposed in a certain row of the tetragonal lattice and a certain side of sides forming one of the edge faces of the other plural permanent magnets disposed in the same row of the tetragonal lattice is in a same straight line, all the edge faces having the square shapes of the permanent magnets are placed in an approximately same single plane, and any two of the polarities of the magnetic poles of the permanent magnets disposed adjacent each other and spaced by the shortest route are different each other.
