Q: I am looking for multipole, diametrically magnetised ring magnets. Do you have anything like this in stock?

On rare occasions when highly specialised projects require them, a magnet with uncommon magnetisation properties may need to be sourced or custom made. Diametrically magnetised magnets have the North and South poles on opposite sides of the width dimension instead of the more usual height dimension (axially magnetised).

Most common applications use regular magnets with an Axial direction of magnetisation and this is how the majority of Frenergy’s stock is manufactured. This Axial type of magnetisation occurs during production in the factory. Frenergy has a small number of diametrically magnetised products in our catalogue in the form of Neodymium blocks and ring-shaped magnets.

Multipole magnets are also uncommon and are mainly used in highly specialised applications. This type of magnetisation is usually applied to circular Ring magnets or Disc-shaped magnets. The alternating North then South poles are located on the curved, outer perimeter of the round magnet. This circular multipole arrangement is sometimes known as a Radial direction of magnetisation.

If you require a magnet with special magnetisation properties you can email the Frenergy office with your detailed specifications for a free quote. Minimum order quantities naturally apply to special custom-made magnets and lead times in the current global climate can be 12 weeks or more. Frenergy has extensive experience in supplying custom magnet orders to customers in various fields and industries. Please don't hesitate to contact the office for any advice you need.
