determine the amplitude and frequency content (wave shape) of the force impulse. The impact cap material generally determines energy content. Hammer model selection involves determining the size and mass of the hammer structure which will provide the force amplitude and frequency content required for proper excitation of the structure under test.

Model 086D80 2.0 DESCRIPTION ® The hammer consists of an integral, ICP quartz force sensor mounted on the striking end of the hammer head. The sensing element functions to transfer impact force into electrical signal for display and analysis. It is structured with rigid quartz crystals and a built-in, micro-electronic, unity gain amplifier.
Sensors install and connect according to detail procedures described in specific sensor manuals. Some common installation methods include stud mount, Petro-wax, cyanoacrylate adhesive, and magnetic. The method used depends on test conditions and user preference. ® In general, sensors connect to the ICP power unit at the jack labeled "XDCR."...
20 dB below initial low frequency force levels. 4. Change hammer tips and/or mass to modify its behavior if necessary: a. For higher frequency response, use a stiffer tip and no extender. b. For better low frequency response, use a softer tip and install the extender. c.
test structure is a function of the total mass of the hammer, while the force on the crystals is a function of only the mass behind them (the impact tip is in front of the crystal- sensing element). Their differences, which depend on the ratio of the tip mass to the head mass, is automatically compensated for when the hammer is properly calibrated, since the extender mass is behind the sensing element.
8. Do not subject units to temperatures above 250 degrees F (121 degrees C). 8.0 CUSTOMER SERVICE PCB Piezotronics guarantees Total Customer Satisfaction. If, at any time, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with any PCB product, PCB will repair, replace, or exchange it at no charge.
