AMS 2140 Impact Hammers
Impact Hammer
Impact hammers help determine resonance frequencies of machines, machine foundations, and other structures.
Impact testing with a modal/impact hammer determines the presence of resonant frequencies, structural cracks, and dynamic stiffness. The hammer’s mass, cushioning, and impact velocity shape the impulse waveform to determine the frequency range.
