Contact Pads and Plates

Prevent arc burning and ensure reliable electrical contact

Magnaflux Contact Pads & Plates are engineered for durable, reliable electrical connection between MPI bench headstocks and test parts. By preventing arc burning and ensuring consistent low-resistance contact, they extend equipment lifespan and inspection quality—ideal for various shape profiles and inspection scenario

Features

Solid copper pads for flat-end parts and braided copper pads for curved or irregular surfaces
Double-braided pads with V-block or clip mounting options for centered, reversible wear surfaces
Lead and copper-lead plates for heavy-duty, high-current applications; soft lead reduces wear
Available in a wide range of sizes from small to large pads and plates
Typically used in pairs to maintain balanced current flow and prolong service life

Applications

Flat-end shaft and tube magnetic particle inspection
Testing of irregular or rounded surfaces
Heavy-duty bench inspections at high current
Protection of bench headstocks from wear
Reversible pad replacement for extended use
