PFG/Diffusion Z Gradient Coils and Probes-

Pulsed Field Gradient Coils up to 4,000 G/cm (40 T/m)

Highest Efficiency, Ultra-Shielded, Fastest Switching

Which gradient coil is preferred for most NB applications? The 20-40C allows a longer sample region than the 16-38 and shims a little better, so it permits higher S/N but requires a larger gradient amplifier. Both coils are widely used.

Local deviation (or differential linearity) is defined as the rms deviation from the mean gradient over the specified diameter, di, and length, zi, of the cylindrical sample region.  Eddy currents from the internal RF shield are negligible.  The gradient slew rate GS is the instantaneous rate of change in gradient when a 1 V step is applied.  The continuous current ratings are true continuous ratings for a single axis with no time limit and adequate cooling.
