Core permeability and electromagnet design
Thanks for the reply Mike. My apologies, the final coil dimensions are: 1.25" Diameter x 1.875 Length The airgap is 1/8" and the armature is 1.5"x1.5" The inductance is 6.625 mH The power draw as read by meter: 5V @ 2A = 10W (with a fresh 9V battery) 994T x 2A = 1988 AT Wire gauges of #30...- capthook

Core permeability and electromagnet design
Core permeability and electromagnet design How much of a benefit might a higher permeability core provide and how might I improve on my electromagnet design? I have been working on a design that uses a DC electromagnet to actuate a small armature over a small airgap. My resources have been...- capthook
