Dytran offers the industry’s broadest range of impulse hammers to cover almost any size test article. Our hammers are designed with interchangeable impact tips of various durometers and hardness to allow engineers to arrive at the correct combination of pulse width frequency content of the forcing function to efficiently excite all of the modes of a test article or structure.

Dytran Dynapulse™ impulse hammers utilize an exclusive acceleration compensated quartz force sensor to ensure that hammer self-resonances do not produce spurious “noise glitches” in the hammer output signal spectrum. The high rigidity of the force sensor combined with acceleration compensation produces a clean, smooth output signal which is an exact representation of the forcing function, both in amplitude and phase.

The Low Impedance Voltage Mode (LIVM) force sensor is permanently mounted to the front surface of the hammer head with electrical connections conveniently routed through head and handle, terminating in a BNC connector located at the end of the handle. This streamlined concept in design was pioneered by Dytran and has become the industry standard.

All Dytran hammers feature internal impedance converting IC amplifiers for convenient LIVM operation. Hammers may be purchased separately or as hammer kits which include accelerometers, power supplies, cables, several tips and head extenders. The complete Dytran hammer line consists of seven different hammer configurations, from the very miniature 5800SL to the large 12 lb. sledge hammer model 5803A, to excite a wide range of test objects and structures from tiny turbine blades to viaducts. All Dytran hammers come supplied with NIST traceable calibration certificates at no extra cost.
