Radially Magnetized Magnets

The magnetization process for radially magnetized magnets is achieved using specialized magnetizing fixtures. These fixtures contain two sets of coils placed on the top and bottom of the ring magnet. Each set of coils generates an axial magnetic field directed toward the center of the magnet. As these axial magnetic fields interact, they combine to form a uniform radial magnetic field. This radial field aligns along the radial vector of the ring magnet, magnetizing it so that the outer diameter (O.D.) and inner diameter (I.D.) acquire opposite polarities.

Radially magnetized magnets find applications in linear actuators, magnetic bearings, and speakers, leveraging their ability to produce a consistent radial magnetic field. While these magnets are less common in such applications compared to other magnetization patterns, their unique field distribution makes them suitable for specialized designs that require precise magnetic performance.
