Inductors are an electric component which can store energy in the form of a magnetic field. They can also be used to filter specific signals. Acutran manufactures both iron- and air-core Inductors. Iron core uses various styles of metal cores such as Toroidal or Laminated Steel. These cores consist of Iron or silicon steel-based metals, which increase inductance. These can be made with or without magnetic cores. Units without magnetic cores are called air-core coils. Those made with them are called iron-core coils.
Acutran also manufactures custom radial air-core inductors on various dielectric materials. Custom air core conductors are lower in inductance and have fewer energy losses found in steel core inductors. Both the iron and air can be designed with custom frequencies ranging from 50Hz to 400Hz.
