Y-2 Yoke
AC Electromagnetic Yoke
The Y-2 is an AC electromagnetic yoke,ergonomically designed to improve productivity
and reduce operator arm and wrist fatigue. Theyoke generates a strong AC magnetic field for thedetection of surface indications during magnetic
particle testing.
Lightweight with an ergonomic grip and trigger,
the Y-2 is designed for the rugged demandsof field inspection. Featuring a field swappable
cord and isolated trigger switch; the Y-2 is easily
serviceable because a severed cord should notstop a job from getting done.
A super bright LED attachment is available as an optional item to help illuminate the inspection area
while simultaneously magnetizing the part. All-in-one Kits are also available, including #8A Red and#1 Gray magnetic powders, a yellow paint marker, and cleaning cloth, for a full inspection kit in one
convenient carrying case.
BENEFITS
Increase inspector productivity andreduce physical fatigue• Less arm strain, wrist fatigue and physicalstress help operators get more done due tothe lightweight and ergonomic design.
• Easily position the yoke in any direction
with lightweight, heavy-duty and powerfulelectronics components.
Keep tools in service with a design that’s
built to last

• Cords and triggers can be easily replaced, so
work doesn’t stop and tools aren’t scrapped
due to accidental damage.
• Prevent dust and dangerous water damage
with an IP54 o-ring sealed housing.
