Parker Research PL-8 & PL10 Portable Coils

Parker Research PL-8 & PL10 Portable Coils

Portable Magnetizing Coils

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 (PL-8 and PL-10 only) 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.

*The Pulsed DC models are not recommended for demag.

*The PL-8 and PL-10 are smaller low power coils that are best used for inspecting the O.D. of small parts. For inspection of larger parts, we recommend a higher-powered coil. Please contact us for more details.

 

 

How it Works

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. This process is only recommended for the PL-8 and PL-10. We do not recommend the use of the PL-8PDC or PL-10PDC Coils for demag.
