CUT CORES ASSEMBLY
Since the permeability of the air-gap is a unity -thousands of times smaller than that of the core material – the added reluctance of the air-gap is relatively large. EILOR`s manufacturing process minimizes the gap by lapping and cleaning the surfaces. In order to keep the exciting current at a minimum level it is advisable to follow the recommendations below:
- Care should be taken to keep the surfaces in good condition.
- Each core half has an identifying dot. Cores must be assembled with both dots on the same side to assure proper orientation.
- Clean the surface with suitable solvent or rub on a clean sheet of paper.
- While inserting the core halves into coil tube, care should be taken to insure that no foreign material-especially of the coil tube-is scraped into the gap.

Note:
Other band sizes, numbers of bands and banding forces have also been found convenient.
