Solenoids for critical waveguide applications in medical industry

Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corp., a subsidiary of Compass Diversified and leading global manufacturer of high-performance magnets and precision thin metals, highlights its custom electromagnetics used in medical applications. By providing critical components for oncology equipment, Arnold’s electromagnets (also known as solenoids) save lives and provide the flexibility needed in generating magnetic fields so necessary for critical waveguide applications. 

Arnold manufactures a wide variety of custom electromagnets that generate uniform or proportioned magnetic field shapes and with a wide range of magnetic field intensities. These electromagnets are either made up of tape wound foil wafers or built up from coils of wire.

All Arnold tape wound electromagnets feature coils that are electrically controlled to the precise field strength desired. Depending upon specific requirements, magnetic field distribution may be uniform, or it may have peaks, plateaus, and valleys along the axial length of the electromagnet, Shaped field electromagnets can be custom-designed to specific configurations with great precision. Coils may be of various widths within the electromagnet and they can be made interchangeable.

Customers can select nominal ID and OD to meet application size requirements. Also available are special designs that use chilled oil or liquid nitrogen to allow higher than normal current, generating up to 200 percent greater field intensity than an uncooled design.
