Impulse Hammer Kit
GK-3100

The Impulse Hammer is an excitation hammer with a built-in force sensor for measuring the natural frequency of structures and performing modal analysis. By attaching Accelerometer to the object to be measured and striking it with the Impulse Hammer, it becomes possible to measure the frequency response function (natural frequency measurement) using an FFT analyzer from two signals: the excitation force signal from the Impulse Hammer and the response acceleration signal from the Accelerometer. Furthermore, by loading the obtained frequency response function into modal analysis software, it is also possible to perform modal analysis of the object.

Features

Because it has a built-in preamplifier, it does not require a charge amplifier and can be easily used in combination with a small power supply unit.
The power supply unit is easy to use because it has no adjustment knobs.
The impact tip can be replaced to suit the object being measured.
The input and output connectors for the hammer and amplifier are CO2 (BNC) type, making them easy to use.
