Blocks
Block magnets are defined by three dimensions: Length, Width and Thickness. To be consistent, we define the Thickness dimension along the axis of magnetization. The thickness is usually the smallest dimension, but not always! We're sometimes asked if we can provide block magnets magnetized through the length or width. Yes, we do have some long "bar" magnets, where the magnetization is in the longest dimension. We do still define this as the Thickness, though. Examples include B882 and B828.

Spheres can only be axially magnetized. There is only one possible direction.

Axially Magnetized

Examples include S4 and S8.

Arc Segments
Arc Segment magnets can be magnetized in one of four directions.

North on the Outside Face

South on the Outside Face

Examples include AX2C45-N and AY0X030-N.

Examples include AX2C45-S and AY0X030-S.

Magnetized through Circumference

Magnetized through Thickness

One example is the AY0X030-C.

Arc Magnetization with Poles on Inner & Outer Face

Note that the magnetization is along a straight axis, and is not truly radial. The lines do not converge at the center of the arc. When assembled, arc segments like this can be used to approximate a radially magnetized ring.

Again, the lines of magnetization are all parallel. The lines do not curve around the arc.
