Does your synchrotron need a tune-up? The MagnaprobeMark II is a valuable tool for doing synchrotron magnet polarity tests. The MkII Magnaprobe doesn't need batteries & is a non-contact magnetic pole indicator you can trust for performance & reliability. We know of at least 4 labs that use it including National Labs on the east coast & in the mid-west & at a major university on the west coast.

Genuine UK made Magnaprobes™ are sturdy, non-contact, analog devices for demonstrating the 3D nature of magnetic fields. Beware cheap copies which will fail if you try this more than once.

Details

The Magnaprobe is a unique visual method for showing the three dimensional nature of magnetic fields. Its small alnico bar magnet is gimbal mounted to freely rotate as you move it around a magnetic source.

Note: Avoid contacting other magnets. If you do so by accident, detach the Magnaprobe by holding its magnet. Do not simply pull back with the handle as you may ruin the device.

Another neat application is how we used a Mark II Magnaprobe to detect eddy currents in this blog: Eddy Current Copper Tube Drop Tower Brake Test.

Specifications

Because of the many cheap copies of the Cochranes of Oxford Magnaprobe MarkII, specifications are propriety. Performance is determined by the grade of AlNiCo used in the magnet, its size & the precision of its dimensions. Further, the type of plastic & its precision of manufacture greatly impact its long term reliability.

We can say, however, that the AlNiCo bar magnet is a high grade making it very sensitive & is gimbel mounted. The handle is 3.25mm thick & virtually indestructible. You get what you pay for!
