Cup Alnico magnets are round and encased in a protective metal cup for increased strength and durability. Sometimes called pot magnets, they have a central hole that allows them to be mounted with threaded studs or hooks. They are commonly used to lift, hold, and retrieve metal items.

Disc Alnico magnets have a round shape and larger diameter than thickness. Alnico disc magnets have a wider temperature range than ceramic magnets and are the most commonly used type of magnet.

Block Alnico magnets have six angular sides with a magnetic pole surface area. They have a strong magnetic hold, a wider temperature range than ceramic magnets, and are often used for heavy-duty applications.

Horseshoe Alnico magnets are U-shaped, provide high magnetic strength at their tips, and have a wider temperature range than ceramic magnets. They focus magnetic strength between their two poles to hold, separate, and retrieve various ferrous objects of different sizes and shapes.

Cylindrical Alnico magnets provide a strong magnetic hold and remain stable at extreme temperatures. Also called cylinder magnets, they resist demagnetization and are often used for holding items in commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

Button Alnico magnets are circular, made with a hole in the center, and include a slot or cutout to separate the north and south poles of the magnet. These magnets have a wide temperature range and can be attached to a threaded stud or similar connection point. They are commonly used for holding and clamping applications.
