BH300
A desktop-sized, lightweight set of Helmholtz Coils for laboratory and general-purpose use, generating stable magnetic fields in up to three axes.
Description
The BH300 Helmholtz Coils are constructed using aluminium split coil formers that can be electrically connected to also generate a low-strength magnetic field. The BH300HF-B model is based on the design of the BH300-A but features a reduced number of turns, allowing it to be driven at much higher frequencies. These coils are available in five models, each offering different combinations of X, Y, and Z axis configurations. Optional mounting plates (DUTST) and sensor jigs are also available. Key features include the option of 1, 2, or 3 axes, and the ability to use coil formers as a single-turn Helmholtz coil to add additional signals on top of the main field. Applications include the calibration of three-axis magnetic field sensors and the creation of a known magnetic environment.
