Portable Magnetizing Coils

Click to enlarge |
Parker’s portable
magnetizing coils are designed for magnetic particle inspection of ferrous
metal parts. The new coils allow for the use of either dry powder or wet
fluorescent inspection media and may be used for demagnetizing as well.
The coils are molded in a
tough black polyurethane material and come equipped with a foot switch and
10' yellow neoprene power cord. The sealed electrical connection box
has a 2" × 4.5" flat base allowing the coil to stand in a vertical
position. The coils are designed for a 50% duty cycle, and are equipped
with thermal overload protection. Both the PL-10 and the PL-8 operate from a
standard 115 VAC, 60 Hz power source, but may also be operated from a 12 V
battery. The PL10S and PL8S operate from a 230VAC, 50-60 Hz power source. |

PULSED
DC VERSIONS
|
Models PL-10PDC and PL-8PDC
operate from a standard 115VAC input, but produce a powerful pulsed DC
magnetic field.
PDC versions use a thumb-switch. |

OPERATION
 Plug the power cord of the
coil into the appropriate outlet. Depress the foot switch. A definite magnetic pull
will be felt by insertion of a ferrous metal object into the center of the
coil. Inspection is accomplished by placing the part longitudinally
parallel to the axis of the coil, within the center of the coil nearer the
outer circumference (see figure.) Activate the foot switch and apply the
inspection medium while the coil is energized This is referred to as the
continuous method and will reveal defects at right angles to the coil
axis.
While using the wet method, allow the coil
to remain energized for approximately two seconds after applying the wet
medium. Remove the part for inspection.
To demagnetize a part after
inspection, simply place the part within the coil near the outer
circumference. While the coil is energized, remove or pull the part
approximately two feet away from the coil before turning the coil off.
Larger parts may be demagnetized by placing the coil directly over the
part and withdrawing the coil in the same manner.

The coil comes with a
plastic carrying case.
