Magnaflux Y-2 AC Yokes & Kits

The Y-2 delivers professional-grade magnetic particle inspection with ergonomic, lightweight, sealed and serviceable design. The Y-2 is the next generation of hand-held yokes that is more robust to survive harsh environments better than its predecessors. Key advantages include strong AC magnetic field generation for reliable surface crack detection, field swappable cord and isolated trigger switch for durability, and proven reliability for critical inspections where safety is non-negotiable and downtime costs thousands. Its rugged construction combined with user-friendly features makes it ideal for demanding field inspection environments.

Magnaflux Y-2 Yoke

Ergonomic, Lightweight Design with Reduced Operator Fatigue

The Y-2 yoke is built to be light-weight and ergonomically balanced, with a grip and trigger shaped to reduce wrist and arm strain during use. This design helps inspectors hold and maneuver the yoke for longer periods with less fatigue. Such ergonomic optimization is especially valuable in field or in-service inspection tasks where awkward positions and repeated handling are common.

Serviceability & Field-Replaceable Components

A standout feature of the Y-2 yoke is its service-friendly construction: the power cord is field-swappable, and the trigger switch is isolated and replaceable. If, for example, the cord gets damaged or the switch fails, the user can replace those components without retiring the whole yoke. This reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and extends the usable life of the tool under tough working conditions.

Robust Environmental Protection & Optional LED Illumination

The Y-2 yoke is designed with durability in mind: it features an IP54 sealed, O-ring housing that protects against dust and water ingress, helping ensure reliable operation in harsher environments. In addition, there’s an optional snap-on LED light that illuminates the inspection area while magnetizing the part. That helps inspectors see defects clearly even under low lighting, boosting detection accuracy and safety.
