What Is a Ring Magnet, Donut Magnet, Annular Magnet A ring magnet (you’ll also hear “donut magnet,” “annular magnet,” or “magnetic ring”) is basically a washer-shaped permanent magnet—round on the outside with a hole through the center. That hole is what makes it so useful: you can slip it onto a shaft, rod, or screw [...]
Amazon's IATA Reporting Requirements for Magnetic Products Recently, many Amazon sellers have run into confusion during the “magnetic product” review process. Amazon often asks for a magnetic testing report that complies with IATA standards, and some review notes specifically mention measuring the magnetic field strength (in gauss) at 2.1 meters from any surface of the [...]
How do circle magnets work? Circle magnets are often called disc magnets because of their flat, round shape problem many face is knowing exactly what these magnets are named and used for. Circle magnets are also known as disc magnets. They are permanent magnets made typically from neodymium (NdFeB), ferrite, or other magnetic materials. Their [...]
