Laboratory Electromagnet

Laboratory Electromagnet is a closed magnetic circuit, composed of the coil, yoke, iron core (pole), and pole head. 
Energized electrically conductive winding (coil) can generate a magnetic field, the internally arranged irregular ferromagnetic metal atoms of the iron core (pole) rearrange regularly with the action of the external coil's magnetic field, together point in one direction, thereby these ferromagnetic metal atoms are magnetized to increase the magnetic flux so that a considerable amount of the magnetic flux Φ is produced during the iron core, the yoke, and the air gap. When the control power supply current is changed, the controllable high magnetic field is formed between the air gap of two poles.

Working Principle of the Laboratory Electromagnet

Precautions:

Power supply parameters: Make sure the power supply used meets the rated voltage and current requirements of the customized DC electromagnet. Too high or too low voltage may cause unstable performance or damage to the electromagnet.
Current control: Make sure the current control is stable during use. Too high a current may cause the electromagnet to overheat or the coil to burn out, while too low a current may result in insufficient magnetic field strength.
Temperature control: The electromagnet generates heat when working, so ensure adequate heat dissipation conditions to avoid overheating. Long-term high current operation may require cooling measures to be considered.
Safety distance: Keep a safe distance when working to avoid the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the human body. Especially when a strong magnetic field is generated, avoid placing ferromagnetic objects close to the electromagnet to avoid adsorption or collision accidents.
Electromagnetic shielding: If there are equipment or devices that are sensitive to magnetic fields around, you need to consider shielding the electromagnet to prevent interference or damage to other equipment.
Transportation and Installation: Be careful when transporting and installing the electromagnet to avoid damage caused by collision or falling. When installing, make sure the electromagnet is in a stable position and well connected.
Periodic inspection: Regularly check whether the connecting wires, coils, cooling systems, and other components of the electromagnet are working properly to ensure the safety and stability of the equipment.
Usage environment: Consider the conditions of the use environment and avoid placing the customized DC electromagnet in a humid, corrosive, or flammable environment to prevent equipment damage or safety accidents.
