The dynamic response of a mechanical
structure while either in a development phase or an actual use environment can readily be determined by impulse force testing.
Using an FFT analyzer, the transfer function of the structure can be determined from a force pulse generated by the impact of
a hammer and the response signal measured with an accelerometer. The impulse force test method, yields extensive information
about the frequency and attenuation behavior of the system under test.
The stainless steel head of an impulse force
hammer, is equipped with a quartz, low impedance force sensor which accepts impact tips varying in hardness. A selection of
rubber tips along with an extender mass allows the hammer to be tailored to impart to the test structure, a desired spectrum
of frequencies.
• Low impedance voltage mode
• Quartz force sensing element guarantees long-term stability
• Accessories for various applications
• Sensor cable integrated to hammer handle
• Conforming to CE
