Magnetic Cylinders

Rod (cylinder) magnets are long, circular magnets where the length exceeds the diameter, commonly used for recessing into a drilled hole for holding applications where larger magnetic fields are required.Neodymium cylinder magnets are typically used in medical, sensor, read switches, meters, and holding applications. Neodymium Cylinder magnets can be magnetized through the length or across the diameter. The shape of a neodymium cylinder magnet produces a magnetic field with a longer reach.There are typically four categories of permanent magnets: neodymium iron boron (NdFeB), samarium cobalt (SmCo), alnico, and ceramic or ferrite magnets.
