Magnaflux Y-2 Yoke Data Sheet

AC Electromagnetic Yoke  (Download PDF Version)

The Y-2 is an AC electromagnetic yoke, ergonomically designed to improve productivity and reduce operator arm and wrist fatigue. The yoke generates a strong AC magnetic field for the detection of surface indications during magnetic particle testing.

 

Lightweight with an ergonomic grip and trigger, the Y-2 is designed for the rugged demands

of field inspection. Featuring a field swappable cord and isolated trigger switch; the Y-2 is easily serviceable because a severed cord should not stop a job from getting done.

 

A super bright LED attachment is available as an optional item to help illuminate the inspection area while simultaneously magnetizing the part. All-in-one Kits are also available, including #8A Red and #1 Gray magnetic powders, a yellow paint marker, and cleaning cloth, for a full inspection kit in one convenient carrying case.

 

BENEFITS

Increase inspector productivity and reduce physical fatigue

  • Less arm strain, wrist fatigue and physical stress help operators get more done due to

    the lightweight and ergonomic design.

  • Easily position the yoke in any direction

    with lightweight, heavy-duty and powerful electronics components.

    Keep tools in service with a design that’s built to last

  • Cords and triggers can be easily replaced, so work doesn’t stop and tools aren’t

    scrapped due to accidental damage.

  • Prevent dust and dangerous water damage

    with an IP54 o-ring sealed housing.
