Parker Research DA-400 AC/DC Yoke

Parker Research DA-400 AC/DC Yoke

The Recommended Yoke for Welding Inspection, Highest Lift Strength at 50 lbs (DC) and 20 lbs (AC), Weighs 9 lbs, Top Mounted Thumb Switch and 1.3"W x 1.3"H Handle Dimensions. Made in the USA

 The Perfect Yoke for Welding Inspection

The Parker DA-400 Contour Probe is the most powerful AC/DC Magnetic Particle Yoke in its class, boasting a 50 lb lift strength, and is perfect for welding applications. It features a rugged, high-impact-molded housing and can be used with either dry powder or wet fluorescent materials. The AC mode produces an intense AC field, for detection of surface defects and demagnetizing after inspection, and the DC mode produces an intense Half Wave Rectified DC field, for detection of some sub-surface defects. Like it's predecessor, the DA-200, it also features Parker's trademark flexible, fully-adjustable leg design, which allows the field to be focused at a precise area of inspection regardless of part size or mass.
