Impulse hammers / impedance heads

Impact heads for impulse hammers are precision-engineered accessories designed to modify the contact characteristics of hammer strikes. Made from various materials such as steel, rubber, or plastic, these interchangeable heads help control impact force, duration, and frequency response for accurate vibration testing, modal analysis, and structural dynamics studies. Ideal for researchers and engineers, they ensure reliable and repeatable test results across different applications.

Impact hammer measurements are often conducted in difficult environments where dust, temperature fluctuations and high humidity frequently pose severe demands on the electrical and mechanical integrity of the instrumentation. All HBK impact hammers have been meticulously designed to meet the expectations for reliability in all such environments.
With the ability to excite from the smallest of structures to various civil engineering structures, HBK has an impact hammer to suit even the most demanding application.

Impulse hammer accessories enhance testing accuracy and versatility in vibration analysis and structural dynamics. These include interchangeable impact tips, hammer faces and head extenders. All designed to optimize impact force, frequency response, and data reliability. Essential for engineers and researchers, these accessories ensure precise and repeatable measurements across various applications.
