A metal detector coil comprising a housing, at least one winding assembly and at least one spacer, wherein the or each winding assembly and spacer are at least partially encapsulated in a potting material poured into the housing, and wherein the or each spacer is configured to create one or more voids within the potting material, and wherein the shape, size or positioning of the voids may be adapted or configured to adjust one or more mechanical properties of the metal detector coil.
A method of assembling a metal detector coil comprising a housing, at least one winding assembly and at least one spacer, wherein the or each winding assembly and spacer are at least partially encapsulated in a potting material poured into the housing, and wherein the or each spacer is configured to create one or more voids within the potting material, the method comprising the steps of:
- locating the at least one winding assembly and at least one spacer within the housing;
- and
- encapsulating the at least one winding assembly and at least one spacer by pouring potting material into the housing, wherein voids are created within the potting material by the spacer.
