Impact Hammers
With built-in force sensor, impact hammer allows imposing impact forces on a test structure while simultaneously measuring the impulse forces. In addition, different tips (rubber, nylon, aluminium, stainless steel) allow achieving wide range of pulse widths, corresponding low to high frequency ranges.
By analyzing responses of the tested structure under the impact forces, the dynamics of the structure can be understood. Structural parameters and cracks in the structures can be identified from impulse responses (see pile integrity test on our SOLUTIONS for example).
Applications
- For generating impulsed force which is accurately measured by a force sensor
- For analysis of structural dynamic behavior
- For pile integrity testing
- with a special design of the hammer structure
Sinocera Impulse Hammers
Our distributed impulse hammers are manufactured by Sinocera (Sinocera Piezotronics Inc.) which has a long history over 50 years in manufacturing high-performance piezoelectric ceramic materials, piezoelectric sensors and dynamic testing instruments. These products have been being used in many countries in Europe, America, Middle East, South America, Southeast Asia, etc. .
The quality management and quality assurance of the production system complies with the international standard ISO 9001:2008. Each finished equipment is tested and calibrated by a stringent quality control system at the factory.
