The Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke is a professional Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) yoke engineered to deliver fast, accurate, and reliable surface crack detection in ferromagnetic materials. Designed for demanding Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications, the Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke generates a powerful alternating current (AC) magnetic field that helps inspectors identify surface-breaking defects in welds, castings, forgings, pipelines, pressure vessels, structural steel, and fabricated components.
Manufactured for industrial inspection professionals, the Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke combines lightweight ergonomic construction with powerful magnetic performance. Its comfortable grip and balanced design help reduce arm and wrist fatigue during extended inspections, allowing operators to work more efficiently while maintaining excellent inspection accuracy. Whether performing workshop inspections or field maintenance, the Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke provides dependable performance in challenging environments.
Built for long service life, the Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke features a rugged IP54-rated housing that protects internal components against dust and water ingress. A field-swappable power cord and isolated replaceable trigger switch allow quick servicing, helping minimise downtime and reduce maintenance costs. These features make the Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke an excellent choice for inspection companies, fabrication workshops, mining operations, oil and gas facilities, power stations, and manufacturing plants.
Designed to exceed ASTM lifting specifications, the Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke produces a strong AC magnetic field for accurate detection of fine surface discontinuities. An optional high-intensity LED inspection light can be fitted to illuminate the inspection area while the yoke magnetises the test component, improving visibility when working in confined or poorly lit environments.
Whether inspecting structural welds, pressure vessels, pipelines or heavy engineering components, the Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke delivers professional performance, outstanding durability and dependable inspection results trusted by NDT technicians around the world.
