Radial vs. diametric magnetization explained: diametric magnets place north and south poles on opposite sides of the curved surface; true radial ring magnets follow the local radius around the circumference; axial magnets place poles on the flat faces; and multipole rings use several alternating poles. Compare sensor, encoder, motor and custom ring applications.Read More

A true radial magnet is a ring magnet with magnetization directed radially between its inner and outer circumferences. Learn how true radial rings differ from standard axial ring magnets, diametric rings and multipole designs—and when to choose stock versus custom.Read More
