1300 mm Helmholtz Coils - Versión en Español (clic aquí)

Ferronato® - BH1300-3-A

---  A three-axis Helmholtz coil-set, for laboratory and general purposes.

---  Suited for many magnetic measurements and experiments, in DC and AC.

  • Same field/current ratio for the three coil pairs, with a round value easy to handle: 200 µT/A (or 400 µT/A, or 2 x 100 µT/A, in according to wiring, easy to modify); in direct or alternate current.

  • Two-wire (bifilar) winding, what allows several configurations in connections.

  • Accurately made, with error smaller than ±1% in the generated field.

  • Thanks to its simple supporting system and joining by screws, the coil arrangement can be modified with relative easily.

  • Coils on aluminium alloy forms.

  • Each aluminium form provides an usable extra turn, with wiring to the terminal block. An example of application is the generation of a small magnetic field to modulate the main one. The forms can be also configured to generate small gradients.  - Click here for more details -

  • The aluminium forms also act like partial shields for electric fields.

  • The coils can undergo heatings to at least 100 ºC without damage.

  • Robust construction but with a reasonable weight.

  • Totally constructed with non-ferromagnetic materials.

  • Excellent quality/price ratio.

  • There are versions of one and two axes available, with similar characteristics:

    • BH1300-1A-A, one axis, horizontal. Only the X pair.

    • BH1300-1B-A, one axis, vertical. Only the Z pair.

    • BH1300-2A-A, two axis, horizontal/horizontal.  X and Y pairs.

    • BH1300-2B-A, two axis, horizontal/vertical. X and Z pairs.

MAIN DIFFERENCES AMONG VERSIONS

Version BH1300-3-A BH1300-2A-A BH1300-2B-A BH1300-1A-A BH1300-1B-A
Pairs of coils included X, Y, Z X, Y X, Z X Z

- These specifications are subject to change without prior notice -

 

- Note about the internal transport of the coils: When the coil-sets are supplied mounted, the pathways in the building of destination should have the minimum widths shown in the table in above. When a coil-set can not be carried to its final location because some door or corridor is too narrow, it can be supplied dismounted, in which case will be attached detailed assembly instructions, in English and Spanish.
