Hello,
I'm designing a magnetic device very similar to a speaker circuit (i.e. a bottom and top plate, a central pole, and a ring magnet). The only exception is that I'm adding an adjustable leakage path on the outside diameter, and inserting a coil in the empty space between the ring magnet...
I don't think so. I have two 1in diameter by .5inch length NdFeB magnets and they would give around .4T over that gap, but the field is not uniform at all, a lot stronger in the middle and weaker as you head towards the edge (by about 50%). I probably could have designed the circuit to eliminate...
I'm in need of a integrating flux meter. Does anyone know of one that is below $1000.00. I've been sampling the voltage at 5000Hz and digitally integrating, but I still I have some drift (1%of reading per second) that has been giving me a headache.
I'm currently working on two projects that deal with magnetism, and one of them invlolves pulling a piece of iron .75x.6x.1in from a distance around .3-.5inches. I have been able to generate a force of 2 to 4lbs, with a 1inch cube permanent magnet (NdFeB). The pulling force is varied (1 to 4lb)...
I'm done!
Everything went well. I ended up with 14.5gauge wire rated at 200C. The vendor wasn't going to have 14gauge in for a few weeks, so I settled. For a recap:
Structure (frame):
"As I mentioned before I have a space restriction that limits the pole center to be 4.5" off the ground. What...
Mike,
Sorry, my fault. I checked my spreadsheet and realized I used 10% oover the gauge diameter (for insulation) and then an additional 15% for random wound so that's how I got 18lbs per coil. Oh well, if the magnet doesn't end up being strong enough I'll get some more wire.
For an update, I have nearly finished constructing the electromagnet. The frame is done. As I mentioned before I have a space restriction that limits the pole center to be 4.5" off the ground. What I ended up with was 1.5"x4" cross section steel for the base and two yokes (I think that's the...
Oh,
Actually the trial version I have been using is the 2D version of Magnet. I like it a lot better than the other trial version by Maxwell, but it's still a trial version so I haven't been able to simulate a exact design, only an approximation. Thanks for all the help, I'm going to talk...
so with 1.75inch poles and 1.75 inch (diameter frame), I have a coil ID of 1.75in and an OD of 5.5in. The coils can be as long a reasonable.
The electromagnet needs to be able to operate for at least 5 min at a time with say 20 min inbetween, pulse operation won't work.
I've really not been clear, so please excuse me, I'm usually never this bad. What I need is a electrolmagnet capable of nearly saturating a rubber with 29% iron particles. I've seen journal articles where a air gap (nothing inbetween the poles) flux density of 0.45 T was sufficient to get to the...
Didn't see the last part of your reply.
I'm going to have a double lap shear fixture inbetween the poles. The fixture is attached to a high frequecy horizontal tensile tester. The specimen is going to be some soft rubber with iron particles, 30% iron 70% rubber (MRE magnetorheological...
Thanks MJR2,
I'm sorry but I meant 0.6T not 2T. Could I wind the coil by hand? Also I plan on running the electromagnet for 20 min periods with say an hour break. I could calculate the heat transfer and all of that, but in your opinion will the coil I described above be able to handle say...
I did some calcs for the size of the coil and came up with this:
.75"x1" pole face (only have access to trial 2D software)
.75" gap on a C-Frame
1"x1" bar stock for C frame 1010 steel
18gauge wire D=.0407" use .0515" for calcs
1" ID coil with 4" OD and height of 2.5" -> No.of turns 2830...
Actually I thought of some more useful information.
Even though the gap between the poles will be around 1", it will ont be entirely air. Instead it will be a rubber filled with about 30% iron particles, so I'm guessing the relative permeability is around 20.
Hello,
I need to make a laboratory electromagnet that can produce an induction of ~1T over a 1"x1" area with an air gap of about 1" .
I have a small budget ~$1000. Which is why I think I'll have to make it. Can somebody give me a few pointers on what iron I should use? I know it should be of...
I need a rough idea of the field strength and gradient as a function of axial distance for a disk shaped perm magnet. I found a formula on the internet (http://www.magnetsales.com/Design/DesignG.htm) that I don't think is right. Shouldn't the formula be corrected for the demagnetizing field (...
