Product Description
The 15mm N52 Ball Magnet – Super Strong Rare Earth (SKU MAGNET-BALL-15mm) is a sphere of neodymium, the rare earth material used in the strongest permanent magnets you can buy. It's a magnet, not a CCTV device, so this page covers what you need to judge before ordering.
The spec in brief
- Diameter: 15mm (1.5cm)
- Material: neodymium, rare earth
- Grade: N52, the maximum-grade material
- Shape: spherical, compact ball design
Check before you buy
A magnet only holds on to something that responds to it. That means iron, steel or a second magnet, so decide what the ball will grip before you order. Plastic, aluminium and most painted fascias won't do anything for it.
Keeping it away from your kit
If you run a CCTV system, keep the ball well clear of the recorder's hard drive, SD cards and any bank cards. Pacemakers and other medical implants need the same distance.
Neodymium is brittle. Let two magnets snap together and they can chip, and they can pinch skin. Slide the ball sideways off a steel surface rather than pulling it straight off. Keep it away from young children, because swallowed magnets are dangerous.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the 15mm N52 ball magnet?
It is a sphere 15mm across, which is 1.5cm.
What will it stick to?
Neodymium magnets attract iron and steel, and they also attract other magnets. They won't grip non-magnetic materials such as plastic or aluminium.
What does N52 mean?
N52 is the top strength grade for neodymium magnet material. It tells you how strong the material is, not how big the ball is.
Is it safe to use near a CCTV recorder?
Keep it well away from hard drives, SD cards and bank cards, as strong magnets can damage magnetic storage.
