Y6 Electromagnetic Yoke

The Y6 is a durable, lightweight, encapsulated AC yoke designed for reliable one-person inspection. It is easy to use single-handed and its articulated legs to contour to any part shape, allowing you to inspect components of different sises and shapes.

Featuring sealed chemical-resistant construction and a robust strain-relieved power cord for field use, the Y6 is ideal for inspection of welds and other remote testing.

  • Sealed, durable construction
  • Chemical and abrasion resistant
  • Exceeds ASTM lifting specifications
  • Individual serial number on each yoke
  • Articulated, double-jointed legs
  • Demagnetising capability
