Endevco's instrumented sledge hammers provide a convenient
means of exciting large structures. The one and three
pound hammers are designed for exciting such structures
as machinery, shafts, large beams, pipelines, storage
tanks and other large structures. The 12-pound hammer
can be used on larger structures including bridges, buildings,
decks and floors.
The modal Hammer excites the structure with a constant
force over a frequency range of interest. Four interchangeable
tips are provided which determine the width of the input
pulse and thus the bandwidth.
Each hammer is constructed with a hardwood handle and
a cast iron head. The electrical cable is routed internally
and terminates to a BNC connector on the end of the handle.
The hammer features an ISOTRON impedance converter providing
an IEPE output which is compatible with most FFT analyzers
and data acquisition systems. Endevco's 4416B single channel
signal conditioner or the Model 133 three channel conditioner
are recommended for use with this hammer series. To excite
smaller structures, see the 2301 and 2302 hammers.
