The magneto-inductive cable testThe cable is the most important structural element of the aerial railway. The travelling through the running gear, over rollers, round pinions and steering wheels, at a constant high tension, and the influence of the weather subject the cables to a perpetual wear and tear. For this reason they have to be periodically examined for possible damage.The wirebreak is the most frequent cable damage. Others are notches, pressure points, tears, corrosion and parts affected by lightning. Damage can be on the surface of the cable as well in the interior parts.Damaged cable = weakened cableGovernement regulations require therefore a periodic magneto-inductive cable test.In this disturbance-free method of examination the cable is locally magnetized and the differentiated formed magnetic field is abstracted by inductance. The electrical tensions arising thereby are visually recorded as a continuous diagram.

  • The magneto-inductive cable test

    The cable is the most important structural element of the aerial railway. The travelling through the running gear, over rollers, round pinions and steering wheels, at a constant high tension, and the influence of the weather subject the cables to a perpetual wear and tear. For this reason they have to be periodically examined for possible damage.
    The wirebreak is the most frequent cable damage. Others are notches, pressure points, tears, corrosion and parts affected by lightning. Damage can be on the surface of the cable as well in the interior parts.


    Damaged cable = weakened cable

    Governement regulations require therefore a periodic magneto-inductive cable test.
    In this disturbance-free method of examination the cable is locally magnetized and the differentiated formed magnetic field is abstracted by inductance. The electrical tensions arising thereby are visually recorded as a continuous diagram.

  • DescriptionMagnetinduktives Seilprüfgerät (PMK 20 Permanentmagnetischer Detektor) der E. Kündig AG, Kriens. Für Seildurchmesser bis 20 mm. Das Seil wird örtlich magnetisiert. Das differenziert ausgestaltete Magnetfeld wird durch Induktionsspulen gezogen. Die dabei entstehenden elektrischen Spannungen zeichnet ein Schnellschreiber als kontinuierliches Diagramm auf. Schäden wie Drahtbruch, Kerben, Druckstellen, Anrisse, Korrision, Blitzeinschlagstellen etc. können herausgelesen werden. Zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren.
