Specialized Geometry for Complex Assemblies. Neodymium ring magnets (also known as donut magnets) are essential for applications requiring a central clearance for shafts, bolts, or sensors. As a core part of our extensive Neodymium Magnets catalog, these rare earth rings offer the same extreme N52 strength as our blocks and discs but with a hollow center designed for mechanical integration.
Common Uses for Ring Magnets:
Unlike standard discs, neodymium ring magnets can be magnetized in different directions depending on your project needs. Choosing the right orientation is vital for performance:
One of the biggest advantages of a ring magnet is the ability to secure it mechanically. While adhesives work well for Small Ring Magnets, larger industrial rings can be bolted down or held in place by a central pin. This prevents the "sliding" effect often seen with standard blocks under high-vibration conditions.
To ensure long-term performance, all our rings feature a Ni-Cu-Ni triple-layer coating. This protects the brittle NdFeB material from oxidation. If you are using these in high-moisture environments, such as marine sensors, we recommend checking our Coated Neodymium Magnets section for epoxy or plastic-shielded options.
The Neodymium Ring Magnets N52 represent our highest-strength circular magnets. These are the preferred choice for industrial engineers who need maximum flux density in a compact, hollow profile.
For precision tasks, the Small Rare Earth Ring Magnets provide a versatile solution. These are commonly used in jewelry clasps or scientific instruments where a lightweight, circular magnetic field is required.
