Magnetic Pot Core Coils for Metal Detectors & Proximity Switches

– Golden Eagle’ Precision Solutions


1. Technology Overview

Magnetic pot core coils (shielded inductors) are optimized for high-sensitivity metal detection and non-contact switching, featuring:

  • Closed magnetic path → 5x lower EMI than unshielded coils

  • Adjustable inductance (1mH–100mH) via gap tuning

  • Operating frequencies: 10kHz–500kHz (LF/HF compatible)

Key Parameters:

PropertySpecificationAdvantage
Q Factor50–200 @20kHzHigh signal-to-noise ratio
Temperature Stability±30ppm/°CReliable in -40°C to +125°C
Core MaterialMn-Zn/Ni-Zn ferriteCustom μ-values (500–15,000)

2. Metal Detector Applications

✅ Industrial Proximity Sensors

  • Detects ferrous/non-ferrous metals at 1–30mm distances

  • Example: Conveyor belt metal contaminant detection

✅ Security Systems

  • Walk-through gates (100kHz–25MHz operation)

  • Goden Eagle’s innovation: Auto-tuning coils for humidity resistance

✅ Automotive Position Sensing

  • Gearbox tooth counting (0.1mm resolution)

  • AEC-Q200 Grade 1 compliant designs
