Maginito a Halbach ndimakonzedwe apadera a maginito okhazikika omwe amachititsa kuti maginito azikhala mbali imodzi mwamphamvu, kwinaku akutsegula gombelo pafupi ndi zero mbali inayo. Izi ndizosiyana kwambiri ndi maginito ozungulira maginito amodzi. Ndi maginito amodzi, muli ndi mphamvu yamagetsi yofanana mbali zonse za maginito.

Zotsatira zake zidapezeka koyamba ndi a John C. Mallinson mu 1973, ndipo "zoyenda mbali imodzi" poyamba adazifotokoza ngati chidwi. M'zaka za m'ma 1980, katswiri wa sayansi ya zakuthambo Klaus Halbach adadzipangira yekha gulu la Halbach kuti ligwiritse ntchito matabwa, ma electron ndi lasers.

Maginito wamba a Halbach ndi ofanana komanso ozungulira. Zida zazingwe zingapo zimagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka pama mota oyenda, monga sitima yamagalimoto; Makina ozungulira omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito mozungulira amagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka pamaginito okhazikika a maginito, monga kayendedwe ka magazi pampopu wamagazi. Maginito oyang'ana magwiridwe antchito amathandiziranso ma machubu oyenda pama satellites olumikizirana, maginito a radar microwave, ndi zina zambiri.
