Ferronato® - BH-1

. . . Miniature Helmholtz coil, specially designed to check and calibrate a wide variety of low field magnetic probes, from a few millimetres to 25,4 mm (1 inch) in diameter, both longitudinal and transversal ones.

. . . Ideally suited to test recording systems proper working on the field and in the laboratory.

  • Precision winding, with less than ±1 % error for the generated field.

  • Easy field/current ratio: 1 µT/1 mA (10 mGs/1 mA).

  • Over-current protected by a self re-settable fuse.

  • With an adjustable holder for most of the probes, by a two sliding rings and four screws exclusive device.

  • By removing the holder it is possible to introduce objects to 51 mm in diameter, using only the two lateral screws to fix it.

  • One hole with M6 thread, on connector box, allows for to fix it easily to a tripod or any other structure.

  • Compact and rugged construction, without excessive weight.

  • Easy connection by banana plugs or by bare end cables.

  • Totally constructed from non-ferromagnetic materials.

  • Excellent quality/price ratio.
