What you need to keep in mind when handling magnetic spheres:

• Magnetic spheres made of neodymium are only suitable for indoor use. With prolonged use outdoors they will begin to rust and lose their adhesive force over time.
• As already mentioned, you should not let the magnetic neodymium spheres collide because the coating could come off or the magnet could shatter. This has nothing to do with poor quality, but instead is due to the material characteristics of neodymium magnets. 게다가, when spheres collide, the pressure on the small contact areas is especially high.
• Due to the dangers involved when magnets are swallowed, do not let children play with magnetic spheres.
• Do not expose our magnetic spheres to temperatures above 80 °C since they would lose their magnetisation.
• Wear protective gloves when handling our largest sphere magnets. The bigger and stronger the magnet, the higher the potential for injury.
• The magnetic neodymium spheres are shipped in plastic tubes. Use them to store and protect the magnets when not in use.
• You can find additional information on the safe handling of sphere magnets in our safety tips. Frequently asked questions can be found in the FAQ section.

A suitable magnetic sphere for every purpose

Our products are more than just accessories for magnetic boards or metal strips. The neodymium sphere magnets in our online shop can be infinitely combined and invite you to experiment. Sphere magnets are versatile and practical for everyday use:

• Bulletin board, whiteboard, and refrigerator: Even our small sphere magnets feature a high adhesive force. Despite the fact, that some of them are only about the size of a pushpin, they can still hold paper or pictures without a problem and without poking holes. Larger magnetic spheres can even hold thick cardboard or large posters. These styles can be gripped, relocated or removed with only one hand which is quite hard to do with flat neodymium magnets.
• Draping fabric: Do you have a knack for tailoring? Then you probably know how difficult it can be to drape fabric. Attach two sphere magnets to the fabric and nothing will shift anymore.
• Model making: You can build various sculptures with our magnetic spheres. In combination with our non-magnetic steel balls, you can build cubes, 반지, and figures. Add neodymium cube or rod magnets to the mix and you can build accurate atom or molecule models.
• Stress reduction: Work on your fine motor skills and create little pieces of art on your desk with our magnetic neodymium spheres. Put your to-do list aside for a few minutes. Playing with magnetic spheres is truly a great stress buster.

Magnetic spheres are often sold in sets of 216 silvery or colourful small balls with a 5 mm diameter. These popular sets are known as Buckyballs, Nanodots or Neocubes. We decided against selling these sphere sets because they are particularly dangerous for children. You can find more information under FAQ sphere sets .

Danger for children

Please note: Due to the danger of being swallowed, magnetic neodymium spheres are not suitable as toys for younger children and, like all super magnets, must be kept out of reach of small children. If several small magnets are swallowed, they may lodge in the intestines and cause life-threatening injuries. 게다가, large magnetic spheres may lead to bruises due to their strong adhesive forces, which is why even older children should not handle them.
