How many shapes of magnets are there？

Magnets in a variety of shapes, in our website you can see different shapes and materials of magnets, each shape is to match different applications, the following will be typical (commonly used) some of the shapes listed below.

Different shapes of magnets come from different processing methods, such as neodymium magnets are generally cut, ground, and drilled.

As for injection molded magnets, such as injection molded ferrite or injection molded neodymium magnets, which can be made into more complex shapes, the magnetic powder is mixed with plastic or adhesive, and the mixture is injected into a mold through an injection molding machine, and then cooled down to form the finished magnet.

The following pictures are typical 9 kinds of neodymium magnet shapes, which can be re-processed according to customer's needs, such as cutting edges, drilling holes, slotting and so on.

Round shape: Flat round, large diameter size, small thickness size, commonly used in sensors, speakers/earphones, magnetic toys, refrigerator stickers, magnetic connectors and so on.

Cylindrical shape: Similar to disk magnets, but with longer height (thickness) dimensions, commonly used in mechanical systems, motors. Magnetic sensors, magnetic couplers, etc.

Ring shape: Doughnut shaped, commonly used for magnetic seals, audio speakers, magnetic levitation or motor rotor magnets.

Block/Cube shape:  Mostly used in linear motors, magnetic toys, magnetic seals for doors and windows, fixing metal parts and many other scenarios.

Spherical shape: looks like a ball and is primarily used for scientific experiments, decorative items, toys and certain medical applications.

Arc shape: A segment of a ring, Some will also look like bread shapes, mainly used for permanent magnet DC motors.

Countersunk Hole Shape: It is a magnet with holes, and can be processed with 1 or more countersunk holes (screw holes) in different positions of different shapes for easy installation.

There are many other shapes, are processed according to some of the above shapes, such as oval magnets, triangular magnets, trapezoidal magnets, bowl magnets, bullet-shaped magnets, conical magnets, seal-shaped magnets, semi-circular magnets, half-ring magnets, L-shaped magnets, D-shaped magnets, and so on. ......

Whether you need regular (ordinary) shaped magnets or customized irregular shaped gripper magnets, our company can process them according to your technical requirements, and we welcome your inquiries!
