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.
