HyMAC soft magnetic properties tester with toroidal fixture

01 / Overview

Characterize every
soft magnetic form.

The HyMAC system characterizes the magnetic properties of soft magnetic materials with high repeatability and accuracy — under varying frequencies and sample geometries.

With HyMAC, engineers and manufacturers can measure core losses, permeability, hysteresis loops and eddy-current effects under varying frequencies.

Test samples using strip testers, toroidal field coil testers and multi-geometry fixtures designed for different material forms. Perform incoming inspections, quality control evaluations and advanced R&D tests for motors, transformers and e-mobility applications.

02 / Components

Modular fixtures.

A complete ecosystem of testing fixtures — from IEC-standard Epstein frames to custom configurations.

Strip Tester

Measures losses and hysteresis of strip steel samples. Ideal for standard IEC-compliant testing.

Epstein Tester

Standardized measurement of AC losses in electrical steel strip samples. Designed for IEC-compliant testing across defined excitation levels.

Toroidal Field Coil Tester

Best for toroidal soft magnetic material testing. Accurately measures hysteresis loops and losses.

Custom Testing Fixture

Configured for specialized sample types, semi-finished parts and application-specific testing. Supports lab evaluation and selected in-line measurement setups.
