In an electric motor, the magnets on the rotor side play a vital role. These magnets are commonly referred to as permanent magnets, and their function within the motor is to create a stable magnetic field that interacts with the electromagnetic field in the motor’s stationary part (commonly known as the stator), thereby enabling the motor to operate.
The following outlines the functions of permanent magnets in an electric motor:
1. Generating a constant magnetic field
Permanent magnets generate a constant magnetic field within the motor; the polarity of this field generally remains unchanged. This field interacts with the magnetic field produced by the current flowing through the stator, thereby generating rotational torque.
2. Driving the Rotor to Rotate
When current flows through the motor windings in the stator, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnets. This causes a torque to act on the rotor, causing it to begin rotating. This rotational motion can be utilised to perform various mechanical tasks, such as driving fans, pumps, electric vehicle wheels, and so on.

3. Efficient Operation
Permanent magnet motors typically offer high efficiency, as they do not require energy to maintain the magnetic field of the permanent magnets. In contrast, other types of motors may need to consume energy to maintain the electromagnetic field in the stator.
The above outlines the function of the magnets on the rotor side. Our company supplies a wide range of rotor magnets, such as rare-earth arc-shaped magnets, multi-pole bonded neodymium-iron-boron magnets, and injection-moulded rotor magnets with shafts. We welcome enquiries from customers worldwide, and our products are available for export.
