Axially and diametrically magnetized rod magnets are part of our 12mm (0.47") thick disc magnet range. Unlike magnets that are magnetized with their poles on opposite flat faces, diametrically magnetized magnets are not designed to generate the maximum holding force but instead produce rotational movement and are commonly used in motors. Within our 12mm (0.47") thick disc magnet range you will also find various super-strong clamping magnets and large ceramic ring magnets.
