What Are Toroids Doing for You? |
| By Watson Mar, 15 2009 |
Toroids aren’t something we think of every day, and if you’re wondering what toroids are—think of a donut, an inner tube, a hollow wrist bracelet or a hula hoop. In other words, toroids are an object of a particular geometric shape. Geometrically, toroids are annular configurations that are created in a line drawing (for example) when a circle is wrapped by a succession of other circles that are on an axis that is external to the original shape. Simple enough. Now, when it comes to what toroids are doing for you, think of the electrical or electronics industries that impact on your life in a hundred ways every day. Toroid shaped objects that are typically made of powdered or ferrous iron are placed onto toroid coil winding machines that wrap these objects with successive layers of copper wire—these devices are then used as toroid transformers or inductors that will be part of an electrical or electronic circuit. Constant advancements in the electrical and electronics industries result in the need for countless new circuitries that will incorporate the use of toroids in custom designed inductors and transformers, each of which rely on custom toroid coil winding procedures to achieve the specifically desired performance parameters required of these components. Toroids are used in the manufacture of inductors and transformers that can be found in countless products such as those listed below:
Both are essential to the electrical and electronics industry—toroids and custom toroid coil winding machines go hand in hand when it comes to the manufacture of highly specialized inductors and transformers for innovative new circuitries. While all toroids are essentially the same shape, slight variations in the geometric configuration of toroids, as well as significant differences in size, will greatly alter the performance of these individually and custom designed electrical and electronic components. Sophisticated circuitries require equally complex components that must perform within narrowly defined parameters. Custom circuitry applications require specialized toroid coil winding procedures that can adapt to minute deviations in inductor and transform design, and today’s ultra-sophisticated toroid coil winding machines offer computerized controls that allow these devices to accommodate subtly varying toroid inductor and transformer configurations. Additionally, the toroid coil winding machines of today provide the electrical and electronics industry with greater than ever efficiencies that serve to reduce costs for manufacturers and consumers alike. What do toroids do for you? By now it should be clear that toroids and toroid coil winding machines do a lot for you.
