FAQs

What are oval magnets used for? Where are the magnetic poles?

Oval magnets are a relatively common type of custom-shaped magnet. Because their shape is not as regular as that of circular or square magnets, they are primarily custom-made to fit specific internal spaces or optimize magnetic field distribution.


What are they used for?

Oval magnets actually have a wide range of applications, including in electronic products, motors, sensors, toys, magnetic attachment systems, medical devices, and hardware components. Because their shape allows them to fit into narrow, elongated spaces more easily than round magnets, they are particularly practical for products with limited space.


The most common material used for oval magnets is neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB). These magnets are powerful and compact. In addition to NdFeB, a small number of products use materials such as ferrite and samarium-cobalt.

As for the position of the magnetic poles, this depends on how the magnet is magnetized. Most standard elliptical magnets are magnetized axially, meaning they are magnetized along the thickness direction. In this case, the magnetic poles are located on the top and bottom surfaces, with N on top and S on the bottom, or S on top and N on the bottom.


Finally, which part of an elliptical oval magnet has the strongest magnetic force?


Generally, the magnetic force is strongest at the pole positions (where the magnetic field is most concentrated in the central area), meaning the surface area directly at the center has the greatest pulling force.


The above provides an overview of elliptical magnets. If your company is interested in customizing high-strength elliptical magnets, please contact us for a quote and to request processed samples.
