The invention claimed is: 1. A magnetic bearing element, comprising:A plurality of annular permanent magnets arranged concentrically with one another, each annular permanent magnet is divided in a circumferential direction thereof at least one location forming radially extending slits and segments, the radially extending slits defined by opposing faces of the segments, wherein the opposing faces of each segment are not in contact with the adjacent segment, and wherein the radially extending slit of one of the annular multiple permanent magnets is angularly offset from the radially extending slit of another one of the annular multiple permanent magnets in the circumferential direction, and an annular binding band surrounding and engaged with the outer one of the annular permanent magnets, and exerting a preloading force on said plurality of annular magnets.
