Questions

Ring Magnet Questions

Straight answers from our team in Denver, Colorado.

What is a ring magnet?

A ring magnet is a round neodymium magnet with a hole through the center. It slides over a shaft, pin or bolt. Our stock rings are magnetized axially, with north on one flat face and south on the other.

What does OD × ID × T mean?

Ring sizes list the outside diameter, the inside diameter of the hole, then the thickness. A 1/2 × 1/4 × 1/8 Inch ring is 1/2 Inch across with a 1/4 Inch hole and is 1/8 Inch thick.

What is the difference between a ring magnet and a countersunk ring?

A ring magnet has a straight hole. A countersunk ring has a tapered hole that matches a flat-head screw, so the screw sits flush. Shop countersunk rings.

Can I drill a hole in a neodymium magnet?

We don’t recommend it. Neodymium magnets are hard and brittle, and drilling can crack the magnet or ruin its coating. Buy a ring or countersunk magnet with the hole already made. Why not to drill magnets.

Do you sell MagSafe-compatible magnets for product makers?

Yes. We stock 54 × 46 mm N52 ring assemblies with an alignment magnet in 1.5 and 2.5 mm thicknesses, plus steel rings for the accessory side. Larger runs are quoted by email. MagSafe magnet instructions.
