I have a arc permanent magnet with radial magnetization  in the inward direction. I need to rotate the magnet at an angle of 100 °. The magnetization should stay constant in the radial inward direction, But after applying motion I can see the magnetization direction constantly changes. I understand I will need to use object or face coordinate system but it is not working. Kindly suggest a solution.

Since the magnetization direction is radial to the Global CS. The easiest is to open the material properties of your magnet and change the Material Coordinate System Type (top right of the material properties window) to Cylindrical.
