Magnetic ball joints
Steel ball magnetically held in spherical socket The steel ball is subject to a magnetic field in the permanent magnetic system and is thus held in the spherical socket by this magnetic force. This results in a joint which can be turned in any direction with an angle up to 180°. If the holding force of the magnet system is exceeded, the ball is released without damage
Application examples
Since the magnetic ball joint is electro-conductive, rapidrelease and rotatable electrical connections can be made with such a system. This is of advantage, for instance, in modern low-voltage lamps. Rapid-release connections for test fixtures are also possible. In lifting linkages a predetermined breaking point can be provided, or sideways movements compensated. Due to the use of high-energy rare-earth magnets, magnetic ball joints types KD... have a very strong holding force. The resulting displacement force of the ball is strong enough to hold the optical systems of cameras, lighting fixtures or laser units without requiring a mechanical fixation.

Magnetic ball joints, magnetic pole position, ballJoint Magnetic ball through the magnet and the ball joint binding, the principle is the use of magnetic spheres do adsorption position rotates to use. Thus, the movable range of the ball will be greatly wide, can be rotated 180 °. Junction of the magnet and the ball is spherical ball combination can not scratch. You can also replace the magnet sphere and can work within the same model By Industry Optical equipment, lighting, fixed surveillance cameras, medical devices, robot joints
Magnetic Ball Joints is a holding Device which has flexible joints with a diameter10mm steel ball held by powerful rare earth magnets contained in the magnet cylinder. And the magnetic ball joints allow the steel ball a full 360°rotation on a 180°axis. This caused even if the ball comes off from the magnet cylinder, no damage can be made and the joints can work just as well as before when reset.
Due to the use of high-energy rare-earth magnets, magnetic ball joints have a very strong holding force. The resulting displacement force of the ball is strong enough to hold the optical systems of cameras, lighting fixtures or laser units without requiring a mechanical fixation. And there are many models of the magnetic ball joints with threaded, showed in below diagram.
A holding device used for cameras, light fixtures, optical devices, and other applications.
The magnetic ball joint assembly allows the steel ball a full 360° rotation on a 180° axis. This is made possible by the combination of a steel ball (10 mm diameter) and a powerful rare earth magnet contained in the magnet cylinder. The ball comes threaded as in the diagram for different sizes.

This novel magnetic ball joint has phenomenal holding power for up to 2kg of attached weight wile permitting the ball a full 360° rotation on a 180° axis. You can freely orient your equipment to an infinite number of positions within this rotation. This is made possible by the combination of a steel ball (1mm diameter) and a powerful rare earth magnet contained in the magnet cylinder (10 x 20mm). Convenient M3 attachment sites are provided on both the ball (male) and the magnet base (female).
For use with micromanipulators for the positioning and holding of optical instruments including various lighting sources and lasers, pipettes and any small parts that would benfit from the flexibility offered by this new magnetic ball joint.
