Description

The IH-05 is a general-purpose instrumented impact hammer designed for structural health testing, resonance determination and modal analysis. With a force range suited to medium-sized structures, it provides controlled excitation for reliable vibration and modal measurements.

The hammer incorporates an internal IEPE piezoelectric force sensor that outputs a voltage signal directly. Each IH-05 is supplied as a complete kit, including a cable and a selection of interchangeable tips to suit different materials, structures and testing requirements.

The IH-05 features a BNC terminating connector and an optional additional mass that can be attached to the rear of the hammer head. Impact pulse width and frequency response vary depending on the hammer head configuration and tip selection, and should be verified based on actual test conditions.

Design and construction

The IH-05 is built around a compact hammer body with an integrated IEPE force sensor for reliable and repeatable impact measurements. The optional rear-mounted mass allows the hammer’s dynamic response to be adapted to suit different test requirements.

A BNC connector provides straightforward integration with vibration analysers and data acquisition systems commonly used for modal and structural testing.
