At least two partial magnets mechanically connected to each other. The length of each partial magnet runs in the main magnetisation direction of each partial magnet and/or in the main direction in which a partial magnet can be magnetised or in which its magnetisation is intended, and defines a first side and a second side as opposed regions at the ends of the partial magnet in respect of its length The at least two partial magnets are arranged in sequence in respect of their lengths and connected to each other. Deviations in the direction of the magnetisation and/or magnetisability of the first partial magnet deviating from the main magnetisation direction and/or main direction of magnetisability reduce and/or substantially compensate for the deviations in the direction of the magnetisation and/or magnetisability of the other or of the adjacent partial magnet deviating from the main magnetisation direction and/or main direction of magnetisability.
