NM01B100S
The Parker B-100 Magnetic Yoke (230VAC) is a rugged, high-performance handheld AC electromagnet designed for reliable magnetic particle inspection (MPI) in demanding industrial environments. This essential NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) tool from Parker Research Corporation produces a strong, constant AC magnetic field, making it ideal for detecting surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferrous materials. Its unique flexible legs allow the field to be precisely "focused" on the area of inspection, conforming to various surface configurations.
Engineered for durability and ease of use, the B-100 (often designated as B-100S for the 230VAC version) is a trusted choice for applications in shipyards, aerospace, steel mills, foundries, weldments, and vehicle overhaul, ensuring thorough and reliable inspections that meet accepted NDT standards like ASTM E709 and ASTM E1444.
Key Features & Benefits:
Powerful AC Magnetic Field: Generates a strong, constant AC field for effective detection of surface flaws and some shallow subsurface indications.
Flexible Legs (Contour Probe): Designed with adjustable, articulated legs that allow the yoke to conform to virtually any part or surface configuration, ensuring optimal magnetic field application.
Durable Molded Construction: Housed in a high-impact, glass-filled nylon casing that protects internal components from harsh industrial environments, ensuring longevity.
Lightweight & Handheld: Weighing approximately 2.95 kg (6.5 lbs), it's designed for single-person operation, making it highly portable and easy to maneuver for extensive inspections.
Precise Area Inspection: Concentrates powerful magnetic fields directly onto the specific area of interest, maximizing flaw detection capability.
Continuous Duty Cycle (50%): Designed for a 50% duty cycle (e.g., 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off) for sustained use while maintaining performance and preventing overheating.
Economical & Repairable: Offers a cost-effective solution for MPI and is fully repairable, allowing for replacement of internal components.
230VAC Operation: Specifically configured for 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz single-phase power (3 Amps current), suitable for international industrial power supplies. (Note: May require CE certification at additional cost for EU export).
One-Year Guarantee: Backed by a one-year repair/replacement guarantee for peace of mind.
