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
