This novel magnetic ball joint has phenomenal holding power for up to 2 kg of attached weight while 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 (10 mm diameter) and a powerful rare earth magnet contained in the magnet cylinder. 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 benefit from the flexibility offered by this new magnetic ball joint.
