An optimized magnetic specification has been searched for a PM quadrupole constructed for the DC-140 cyclotron in JINR, Dubna. The field inhomogeneity should be reduced to come closer to an ideal distribution. The quad parameters should be determined with very high mechanical and magnetic precision in order to reach the specified gradient. Results of the analytic study based on a 2D model gave initial values for the PM blocks dimensions and orientations. To ensure stringent performance criteria, parametrized 2D and 3D models of the quad were built. These models were used to optimize the magnet configuration, analyze its sensitivity to various errors and derive parameter tolerances. Additional adjustment to suitable field quality is foreseen using results of a trajectory analysis and acceptance inspection. The design parameters for the best suited magnet configuration are presented and the performance criteria are defined. However, an electromagnetic analysis of the selected configuration has revealed that the relative field error adopted previously as the optimization criterion gives low accuracy estimate. Alternative estimations are proposed utilizing the field gradient error as the basic criterion to satisfy the constraint on the field inhomogeneity.
