Crescent Magnets Crescent Shaped Magnets Arc Magnets
Neodymium arc magnets/crescent magnets/ crescent shaped magnets are one of the basic shapes of Neodymium magnet. This type of magnet can be used in various applications; arc magnets/crescent magnets/ crescent shaped magnets are commonly used in electric motors, permanent magnet motors, generators, wind turbine, torque couplings and hard disk. They also have uses where a arc magnets needs to be formed around a cylinder.
Below is one of our very special shape arc magnets/ crescent magnets/ crescent shaped magnets for our USA client, who use our magnets in generators.

Large Neodymium Crescent magnets Hard drive assembly
We still have a few boxes of these large old hard drive arc magnets/ crescent magnets/ crescent shaped magnets. Some folks have taken apart hard drives and found the arc magnets/ crescent magnets/ crescent shaped magnets inside, these are much larger than most. Each assembly contains two crescent shaped magnets about 2 inches long and 3/8 inch thick, which are very impressive, each arc magnets/ crescent magnets/ crescent shaped magnets can pick up about 50 pounds of steel! Each crescent magnet has a steel 'bracket' behind it which serves as a nice handle In the picture you can see the assembly, and then below the ruler is one of the magnets with the torx bit stuck to it.
