MCS Modular Characterization System
EMP Electromagnet Platform
The multi-purpose MCS-EMP electromagnet platform provides all of the essential components required for automated, variable field experiments. Each MCS-EMP builds on a 4-inch or 7-inch electromagnet with pole caps, magnet base, and pedestal. Magnets feature ExactGAP™ precision-settable sample gaps. 2-inch pole caps are standard on the 4-inch MCS‑EMP, and convertible 4-inch/2-inch caps are standard on the 7-inch MCS-EMP. Optical access is optional.

Included with each MCS-EMP:
- 4 in or 7 in electromagnet
- Electromagnet system controller (ESC):
- High-reliability linear magnet power supply (643 or 648)
- F71 multi-axis teslameter and single-axis field-monitoring probe
- PC with installed MeasureLINK-MCS control software
- Equipment console
- MCS-EMP choices:
- GlideLOCK option mount only
- Variable temperature control with GlideLOCK mount
- Optical bore
