Axial Ring

Figure 3-13 Axial Ring Magnet

Similar to the diametric ring magnet, an axial ring magnet features a center bore hole. Polarization for this magnet is directed axially in the Z-direction.

This magnet type may similarly be installed onto a shaft, but may not be used to measure rotary angle due to the radial symmetry of this magnet type. Instead, it may be more practically used to detect changes in linear position.
