Western Instruments WC-8 12V Pulsed DC Yoke

Western Instruments WC-8 12V Pulsed DC Yoke

Battery Powered, Lowest Power Draw, Compact and Rugged with Sealed Membrane Switch and Adjustable Strain Relief Orientation

Battery Powered, Pulsed Signal Yoke

The WC-8 Compact 12 Volt Pulsed DC Magnetic Yoke has a special module that converts 12 Volts DC into a pulsed signal, that allows the unit to lift over 50 pounds to comply with DC specifications, but the pulsed DC field induces particle mobility similar to an AC Yoke. The WC-8 boasts the lowest power draw of any Battery Operated Yoke, drawing less than 1/2 Amp, so a 3.0 Amp/Hour Battery Pack will last you a full day based on estimates. Battery Packs are supplied in 3, 7 or 12 Amp Hour configurations, with either 1 or 2 connectors and can be charged with the High Capacity Smart Charger (1.5 Amps). Features a compact design, articulating legs and a durable power cord strain relief that can be directed up or down. These features allow this yoke to be adapted to confined spaces and almost any test part. A Urethane Rubber housing provides superior durability in rugged environments. The ergonomically designed grip, combined with WC-Series lightweight design, reduces operator fatigue and strain which permits longer and more thorough inspections. The WC-8 uses a low profile sealed membrane activation switch which ensures operator safety with a grounding provision and conducts less than 1/2 watt of power.
