As you can see, there are many kinds of magnet shapes in the magnet products section of our website, why do we need so many shapes? The main reason is to adapt to the customer's product requirements, the following are common magnet shapes and their main uses.
The image below contains 3 magnet shapes, round countersunk, round, and cylindrical/rod.
Round countersunk hole magnet shape and use
Round countersunk hole magnet is based on the round magnet with screw holes (countersunk holes), countersunk holes with M2~M6 stainless steel screws, generally the thickness of the magnetization, some customers will need 2 magnets paired magnetization use, mainly used for mechanical fixing and hidden installation, such as doors, cabinets. Removable magnetic base.

Round magnet shape and use
Round magnet is usually one of the most common magnet shapes, available in 2 sizes, diameter and thickness, with different applications depending on the size, material, magnetic force and direction of magnetization, such as sensors, magnetic toys, refrigerator stickers, handicrafts, personal DIY, packing boxes, notepads, leather goods, handbags, earphone cases, luggage and so on.
More round magnet sizes: Neodymium Circular Magnets
Cylindrical Magnet Shapes and Uses
Height (length) is greater than the diameter of the circular magnet, magnet manufacturers can generally do about 1mm in diameter, can be axial or radial magnetization, widely used in sensors and testing equipment, nail art, smart door locks, magnetic connectors and other electronic products that require magnetic force.

There are also 3 magnet shapes shown in the image below, trapezoidal, ring, and curved.
Trapezoidal Magnet Shapes and Uses
Trapezoidal magnets, with their beveled shape, are widely used in motors, sensors, magnetic fixtures and industrial separators, where their special shape allows them to be effectively adapted to specific structural requirements.

Ring Magnet Shapes and Uses
Ring magnets are circular magnets with a hole in the center and are commonly used in motors, magnetic sensors, magnetic isolation devices, and magnetic coupling devices for ease of installation and application due to their unique hole design.
Ring magnets are often used;
Arc Magnet Shapes and Uses
Curved magnets have a curved shape and can be thought of as part of a ring magnet, and are commonly used in magnetic couplings, magnetic actuators, and electric motors to accommodate curved surfaces or for applications that require a specific angular magnetic field distribution.
Special curved magnets;
The picture below contains 3 magnet shapes, from left to right they are block, ball/spherical, square
Rectangular block Magnet Shapes and Uses
Rectangular block magnets are rectangular in shape and are widely used in motors, magnetic suction cups, sensors and magnetic fixtures due to their simplicity and ease of use and even distribution of magnetic force.

Spherical Magnet Shapes and Uses
Spherical magnets are perfectly spherical in shape, common sizes are 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 8mm, and are commonly used in magnetic bearings, toys, magnetic floating devices and decorations due to their uniform magnetic field distribution and easy rotation.
Square Magnet Shapes and Uses
Square magnets with the same length and width dimensions, some with the same thickness, are widely used in power tools, magnetic separation equipment, medical equipment, electronic products.
