PERMAGRAPH® C
for the computer controlled
measurement of hysteresis curves
of hard magnetic materials
• Introduction
®
The PERMAGRAPH C is an automatic computer controlled measuring system to determine the magnetic
characteristics of permanent magnets.
With the precision fluxmeters EF 5 and the high performance software package PERMA we offer an
automatic measuring station which facilitates quick and reliable measurements.
®
The PERMAGRAPH C is a measuring system which will meet your present and future requirements. Our
instruments are known for quality and long lifetime.
The system design conforms to the standards IEC 60404-5, ASTM A977, DIN IEC 60404-5 (replacement
for DIN 50470, DIN EN 10332). The temperature upgrade conforms to IEC 61807TR, DIN IEC 68/190/CDV.
The equipment has been optimized for years and has been made especially to the requirements of our
customers. Among others, the following measurements are possible:
• Measuring Method
®
Depending on the model of the PERMAGRAPH C and its particular accessories the following
measurements are possible using our components:
• Product Family
®
A PERMAGRAPH C can be composed from a variety of components and accessories.
For the measurement of the different magnetic materials we offer standard packages which can be
completed by further components according to your application.
On the following pages we list up the components which are included in the packages and give technical
details. You will also find a list with all available measuring equipment and accessories.

• Standard Packages
For the measurement of the field strength H we use either integrated or separate field measuring coils.
Therefore a Hall effect gaussmeter is superfluous. If Hall sensors are used to measure H next to the
specimen additional space for the probe and an additional gaussmeter is required. Hall sensors are very
fragile and can easily be damaged. Because of the linearity error and the temperature dependence of the
sensitivity of a Hall sensor, corrections are necessary to achieve an acceptable accuracy. Additional errors
can arise from the facts that the Hall probe has always to be aligned truly perpendicular to the magnetic
field direction and that it is, due to the small active area, more sensitive to local field strength variations.
Therefore it is the better solution to use a field measuring coil instead of a Hall probe.
If a surrounding coil is used field strength and polarisation are measured with only one combined coil
system. As no space for the Hall probe is required, specimens of a thickness down to only 1 mm can be
measured.

few new inputs must be made.

• Electromagnets
Electromagnet EP 3
For the use with PERMAGRAPH C
Electromagnet EP 5
The measurement of hysteresis curves of permanent magnets in a
measuring yoke requires very high field strengths for the
demagnetization of the modern, high coercive materials (Samarium-
Cobalt and Neodymium-Iron-Boron).
Measuring Poles
with pole coils, for insertion in the electromagnets for
measurement at room temperatures.
Flat Pole Coil Measuring Systems
Recommended for ferrite magnets. The measuring
system can be positioned on standard poles 92 mm
diameter. The poles are made of FeCo.
Flat Pole P 3/3-15, 92 mm Ø
with 2 incorporated pole coils 3 mm Ø
Flat Pole P 6/6-15, 92 mm Ø Flat Pole P 3/3-15

Thermocouple TH-J
Temperature surrounding coils
with integrated field coil, for measurements at
temperatures up to 200 °C. Coil thickness: 4 mm.
• Special Applications
Segment Poles with pole coils
for the measurement of segment magnets. Both the
upper and the lower pole contain pole coil systems.
Thus the polarization can be measured either on the
lower or the upper side of the segment magnet or
both pole coil systems can be connected together to
obtain the average.
The set of poles is constructed corresponding to the
radii of the segment magnet. Magnets with different
sizes and thicknesses but the same radii can be
measured with the same pole set.
