Y-8

DC Battery-powered Electromagnetic Yoke

The Y‑8 is a rugged, battery-powered DC electromagnetic yoke designed for portable magnetic particle inspection (MPI) in field and remote locations. Its compact battery pack supports a full 8-hour inspection shift, while the sealed, abrasion-resistant housing and adjustable legs allow versatile use across varied part geometries.

Features

DC-only excitation: Deep-penetrating magnetic field ideal for subsurface flaw detection
Compact battery power: Delivers up to 8 hours of continuous use
Articulated, double-jointed legs: Adjustable from 0–305 mm (0–12″) to fit diverse component shapes
Sealed, durable construction: Resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and rugged environments
Enforces ASTM lifting standards: Confirms yoke strength and performance
Single-handed operation: Lightweight design (~3.5 kg) with solid-state controls
Unique serial number: Ensures traceability for inspection records

Applications

Field or in-service inspection of welds, shafts, flanges, castings, and forgings
Detection of subsurface discontinuities like fatigue, quenching, grinding cracks, inclusions, and welding slag
Ideal for demanding environments, remote sites, and confined access areas
