Ring Magnets
Ring magnets, similar to disc magnets, feature a thin flat design with a central hollow or cavity. Their specifications are measured by the outer diameter, inner diameter, and thickness. These magnets are typically used on a spindle, axle, shaft, or rod to regulate the mechanical threshold at which components within their magnetic field can move and at what speed. If the mechanical force applied is insufficient, the components remain stationary.
Ring magnets are often housed in linkages between motors, shafts, and gearing assemblages to help control and manage mechanical force. They are integral to fail-safe devices, torque limiters, and overload clutches, which are designed to protect motors and other equipment by returning them to a safe state in the event of a jam or crash stop.
