Impulse Hammers

The impulse hammer is a calibrated tool used to excite structures for testing and analysis. With the help of an impulse hammer, structure-borne sound is generated in a component, which is recorded by vibration sensors. Here at Techni Measure, we offer a wide range of impulse hammers to suit your needs.

Model 5805A

The Model 5802A is an impulse hammer specifically designed to excite larger structures by generating a precise impulse force. It has a sensitivity of 1 mV/lbf and a measurement range of up to 5,000 lbf. The hammer weighs 1 pound and comes with four interchangeable impact tips.

Model 5850B

The Dytran model 5850B is a general-purpose IEPE impulse hammer designed to excite structures or machinery with a controlled impulse force. It features a three-position toggle switch located on the hammer handle, allowing the user to choose from three different sensitivity settings suitable for test objects of varying sizes. The hammer has a head weight of 150 grams and comes with three interchangeable impact tips.

Model 5800B2

The Series 5800 is a general-purpose impulse hammer designed to excite structures or machinery with a specific impulse force. Available with 5–100 lbf range, the Dytran series 5800 features a 100–gram head weight and is supplied with three interchangeable impact tips.

Model 5800SL

The Dytran model 5800SL is a compact, lightweight version of the 5800B model IEPE impulse hammer, offering an ultra-low mass of 9.8 grams and very high stiffness. With a measurement range of 50 lbf, the Dytran model 5800SL has a head weight of just 2 grams and is supplied with a brass head extender.

Model 5802A

The Dytran Model 5802A is an IEPE impulse sledgehammer designed to excite larger structures, generating a defined impulse force. This capability allows for the study of dynamic behaviour and the assessment of the overall structural health of a test specimen. With a sensitivity of 1 mV/lbf and a measurement range of up to 5,000 lbf, the Dytran 5802A weighs 3 pounds and comes with four interchangeable impact tips.

Model 5803A

The Dytran model 5803A is an IEPE impulse sledge hammer, used to excite larger structures with a definable impulse force, for purposes of studying their dynamic behaviour. With a sensitivity of 1 mV/lbf and an available measurement range of 5,000 lbf, model 5803A is the largest of the Dytran sledge hammers with a head weight of 12 pounds, and is supplied with four interchangeable impact tips.
