Neodymium magnet shapes

Segment and arc magnets

Rotor segments and arc magnets are used in motors and generators. Loose segments and complete rotors require different system boundaries.

Segment and arc magnets shown as shape examples
Illustrative image: the visible shape does not establish the alloy, purity or magnet grade.

Four key details

Information needed for assessment

  1. 01Loose segments or complete assembly
  2. 02Rotor/generator source
  3. 03Adhesive, support and coating
  4. 04Dismantling and safety status
Not a stand-alone basis for material identification

Magnetic force, colour, coating or geometry alone is insufficient. Documentation, source information and, where necessary, suitable analysis determine the material classification.
