SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a 2 Tesla (T) electromagnet, emphasizing the importance of consulting manufacturer specifications to select the appropriate iron type. Key considerations include the size of the air gap, pole tip dimensions, and the necessity for water-cooled coils if using direct current (DC). The experience shared highlights that achieving 2 T requires a combination of iron capable of reaching 1.8 T and additional support from Helmholtz coils for the remaining 0.2 T. A reference link to Walker Scientific's electromagnet specifications is provided for further information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnet design principles
  • Familiarity with DC power supply specifications (voltage and amperage)
  • Knowledge of magnetic field strength and saturation limits of iron
  • Experience with cooling systems for electromagnets
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specifications for 2 T electromagnets on Walker Scientific's website
  • Learn about the design and application of Helmholtz coils
  • Investigate water cooling systems for high-power electromagnets
  • Explore materials suitable for high magnetic saturation, focusing on iron alloys
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, physicists, and researchers involved in electromagnet design, particularly those working with high magnetic fields and requiring detailed specifications for construction and performance optimization.

I was asked to design and build an electromagnet that generates a magnetic field of 2 T. I find it a good idea to have a look at the specs of such magnets made by specialized manufacturers to help me to choose the required type of iron. I searched for information (data sheet or specs) using search engines but I was lost in a flood of tens of thousands of results that have nothing to do with what I need. Can you help me to know where can I find data sheet or specs of 2 T electromagnets?
Thanks.

What size of air gap and pole tip length and width do you need? A standard box "H" magnet is best shape. How long do you need to keep the field on? If it is dc, you will need water cooled coils. What kind of DC power supply (volts, amps) do you have?

The strongest iron magnet I ever worked on was the magnet for E. O. Lawrence's 184" (pole tip diameter) cyclotron magnet. The gap was about 15" . The iron saturated at about 1.5 Tesla. The rest of the field came from "Helmholtz coils". The total power was about 2 megawatts. You are not going to get iron that will go to Tesla. You will have to design for 1.8 Tesla iron plus 0.2 Tesla Helmholtz coils.
