Description

The IH-10 is a general-purpose instrumented impact hammer designed for structural health testing, resonance determination and modal analysis. Rated for higher force excitation, it is well-suited to testing heavy components where controlled, repeatable impacts are required.

The hammer incorporates an internal IEPE piezoelectric force sensor that outputs a voltage signal directly. Each IH-10 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-10 features a BNC terminating connector. Impact pulse width and frequency response vary depending on the hammer head and tip configuration used, and should be selected and verified based on actual test conditions.

Design and construction

The IH-10 is built around a robust hammer body with an integrated IEPE force sensor to support reliable and repeatable impact measurements. Its mass and geometry are optimised for the excitation of heavy components during modal and structural testing.

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