Helmholtz coil systems

Model HC1 (500mm), HC2 (1000mm), HC16 (350mm), BH300, BHC-2

Helmholtz coil systems generating stable, homogeneous magnetic fields in up to three axes for magnetic sensor and compass calibration.

Description

Bartington Helmholtz coil systems generate stable, homogeneous magnetic fields in up to three axes. The HC1 and HC2 systems comprise the coil, a PA1 power amplifier and a CU1 control unit, and interface with PXI or National Instruments data acquisition hardware. Coils can be bought separately and two-axis versions are available. Installation training is recommended for these systems.

Key features

  • HC1 coil diameter 500mm; HC2 coil diameter 1000mm; HC16 350mm
  • HC2 field homogeneous to 0.1% in 2500cm3
  • One-, two- and three-axis configurations
  • Interfaces with PXI / National Instruments hardware

Applications

  • Calibration of three-axis magnetic sensors, including for satellites
  • Compass calibration
  • Directional tool calibration
  • Creating a known magnetic environment
