Sag Harbor Industries - Manufacturing Custom Coils

Coils are essential to the successful operation of most electronic and electromagnetic devices. Although we produce a variety of standard electric, encapsulated, field, modeled, self-supported, solenoid and varnished coils; we also offer custom coils to our customers. At Sag Harbor, we understand that there are thousands of unique applications across all industries. Each product requires a slightly different solution, and we manufacture custom coils to reflect that need. Custom coils are just part of our customer focused approach where we do everything in our ability to exceed expectations and manufacture high quality products. Our decades of industry experience have made Sag Harbor a trusted and respected coil manufacturer.

In recent years, we have expanded our support services to offer design and engineering. Rather than present you with blanket solutions, we will assess you needs and then develop a coil that meets the dimensions and electrical specifications of your final product. This level of customization prevents any compromise in quality; a reflection of our desire to always offer quality craftsmanship. All of our custom work is done in-house, which means customers benefit from the efficiency and cost savings of our advanced capabilities. Rather than outsourcing specialized steps in the coil manufacturing process, we can implement an efficient new manufacturing process for custom coils that draws on our many years of fabrication expertise.

Customers have utilized our custom coil manufacturing services to develop parts for use in applications like chemical immersion, jet engines, anti-corrosive coatings, space communications and more. What makes Sag Harbor unique among competitors is that we have a highly adaptable team of personnel with the right equipment to match their skills.

Sag Harbor Industries - Coils

Coils are used in many electromagnetic, electromechanical and electrical applications that are needed in almost every industry you can imagine. From clocks to cars to medical equipment, coils are an essential part of many complex or simple items that we use on a daily basis.

An electromagnetic coil is formed when a conductive metal is wrapped around a core to create electromagnetic waves. This is necessary in situations where electrical currents interact with magnetic fields, like in a transformer on a power line. The shape of the coil increases the strength of the electromagnetic field when a current passes through it.

An electromechanical coil, perhaps known more commonly as a solenoid, uses a similar process. The purpose of the solenoid is to create a controlled magnetic field. The coil in a solenoid is usually wound around a steel or iron core. The level of control made possible by a solenoid can be very useful at short ranges because of its very quick response time. Fuel injectors in a car, for example, are usually controlled by solenoid so that they can turn on or off based on the demands made by the person driving the car. As soon as the ignition is turned to the ON positon, the fuel injectors need to be activated to send fuel to the engine, and they need to stop the moment the ignition is turned off again.

Electrical coils use all of the principles discussed above, but they are the most basic form of a coil. They can be made out of various kinds of metal based on their conductivity needs, and can be found in common units like household appliances.

The coils that are manufactured at Sag Harbor Industries are sold to clients in many lines of work. Our coils are all made right here in the USA, and we offer solutions for every possible type of application, from solenoid to electrical to molded coils and more! We even manufacture self-supported coils that can be used in irregular or uncommon applications. Because Sag Harbor Industries has been a trusted manufacturer of coils for 70 years, we are known for the quality and high level of performance that comes with each of our products.

Transformers: Making Things Work

The more electronics grow and evolve, the more frustrating they become to some people. Mostly due to the fact that there are so many different electronics to own and know how to use. From finding the compatible remote to turn on the Blu-ray player to knowing the right channel the game is on out of literally thousands of options, electronics can be a difficult thing to master.

One other complication that comes with a number of different electronic devices is that many of them require a different voltage level in order to function properly and safely. Nowadays most products come with their own transformers that manipulate the voltage from an outlet into the acceptable voltage that the product needs. Other times, a separate adapter must be purchased in order for all different products to work from the same outlet. Transformers work by taking electrical energy and from one electric circuit and then sending it to another without changing the frequency.

Now as technology advances and we see more and more electrical devices, a lot of manufacturers and companies are making their products a bit more user friendly by including transformers with their devices. If you happy to purchase a product or industrial machine that requires a transformer, be sure to check in with us to figure out which transformer is best suited for your unique application.

Pulse Transformers and Your Application

When talking about electric transformers, there are a number of different types that are able to provide different forms of power conversion for any number of specific applications or purposes. From high voltage transformers to low voltage transformers, they come in a variety of shapes and names such as auto, isolation, zig zag, pulse and toroidal transformers. Each name is based off of the functionality of the transformer. In this article, we would like to focus on the pulse transformer and mention a few applications where they can be found.

A pulse transformer interfaces a pulse forming network and a load, these transformers operate in a direct current mode. The reason they are called pulse transformers is because they release stored energy in a pulse. These transformers work at high frequencies normally, and require low loss cores. Pulse transformers are often found in detailing logic and telecommunications operations such as radar equipment, camera flashes, and even particle acceleration. A lot of times these transformers are used in electronic circuit applications, and in the digitization of computers.

Pulse transformers are born out of necessity as we continue to strive to reach our highest potential. As it is often said, necessity is the mother of invention. There are numerous kinds of transformers and each performs their own unique fashion that makes them ideal for specific applications. In order to know what is best for your application, contact us today and we will let you know if a pulse transformer will fit your application.

Getting to know Step Down Transformers

Step down transformers are often used to power appliances in other countries, they are also mostly used in power generating stations in order to increase the voltage while decreasing the current. These transformers can come in handy for traveling Americans as certain appliances such as a microwave are not quite as popular in foreign countries as they are here in America. In fact, some countries don’t even sell them. However, if you find yourself in a foreign land and have a need to use your microwave, a step down transformers is needed. These transformers allow for a decrease in voltage of electric currents to an acceptable level for the appliance.

As stated before they are often used in power generating plants for long distance transmission lines. The high voltages are paired with low currents and when the current reaches the receiving end, the voltage is lowered and the current is then increased in order to power the needed device. Because of their higher efficiency and lower losses these transformers are ideal for lowering voltage levels until they are right for home or business use. Smaller versions of these transformers can be used in televisions, electric razors and other portable electronic devices in order to the prevent short circuits or preventing the product from catching fire.

The transformer works through the electrical wiring that is around an electromagnet and by transferring the electrical energy through two coil stages. The first coil typically contains more wiring, while the second coil has fewer, this allows for the reduction in output voltage. Through this intricate system high voltage is converted to low current power and low voltage can be converted into high current power.

The Power of Low Voltage Transformers

Blowing a fuse is a common occurrence in households all around America. Electricity is a delicate thing to handle, too much and it can be hazardous and too little is its own problem. In order to ensure that the proper amount of power is going to a particular item, a transformer is required. Low voltage transformers can be a lifesaver in certain situations.

The common voltage levels of power outlets is typically around 120 volts, however not all devices need 120 volts, and a lot of them wouldn’t even be able to handle that much power. This is where low voltage transformers come into play. They can turn 120 volts into 12 or 24 volts, in order for small devices to operate properly without hazard.

These transformers are able to be very small because they do not need to process as much power as their high voltage transformer counterparts. Many times electronics are sold with their low voltage transformers included so consumers do not have to worry about damaging their new cell phone, camera, or media player. Occasionally, the low voltage transformer can be fitted directly in the device in order to keep things aesthetically pleasing while also keeping the product and user safe.
