COMPANY HEADER
The Dytran series of IEPE Impulse Hammers are used to excite structures or machinery with a definable impulse force. The impulse is used to identify resonances, an important measurement parameter for the study of dynamic behavior, as well as to help determine the overall structural health of a test specimen.

Description N/A The Dytran Dynapulse™ 5800B series is a family of general purpose IEPE impulse hammers used to excite structures or machinery with a definable impulse force. The impulse is used to identify resonances, an important measurement parameter for the study of dynamic behavior, as well as to help determine the overall structural health of a test specimen. Available in four different models with frequency ranges from 50 to 1,000 lbf, the Dytran 5800B series features a 100-gram head weight and is supplied with three interchangeable impact tips.

Dytran Dynapulse™ impulse hammers incorporate a special acceleration compensated piezoelectric force sensor in the hammer head at the striking face, ensuring a smooth frequency spectrum that is free from anomalies. Electrical connection is achieved via a 10-32 connector jack located at the end of the hammer handle. Units feature optional TEDS capabilities (per IEEE 1451.4) for use in larger channel count applications.

Units feature optional TEDS capabilities (per IEEE 1451.4) for use in larger channel count applications. 		N/A The Dytran model 5800SL is a compact, lightweight version of the 5800B series IEPE impulse hammer, offering an ultra low mass of 9.8 grams and very high stiffness.

With a measurement range of 50 lbf, the Dytran model 5800SL has a head weight of just two grams and is supplied with a brass head extender. Electrical connection is achieved via a 10-32 jack located at the end of the hammer handle. Design of the model 5800SL incorporates an ultra miniature quartz force sensor built into the impact hammer tip, coupled with an onboard miniature IC amplifier. The reduced size and weight of the hammer head and handle further reduce overall hammer inertia for quicker rebounding. This produces a very high frequency excitation, allowing the user to excite smaller structures with higher frequency content and input forcing function. 		N/A Dytran model 5802A is an IEPE impulse sledge hammer, used to excite larger structures with a definable impulse force, for purposes of studying their dynamic behavior. The impulse is used to identify resonances, an important measurement parameter for the study of dynamic behavior, as well as to help determine the overall structural health of a test specimen.

With a sensitivity of 1 mV/lbf and an available measurement range of 5,000 lbf, Dytran model 5802A is available with a head weight of 3 pounds, and is supplied with four interchangeable impact tips. Electrical connection is achieved via a BNC jack located at the end of the hammer handle. Design of the Dytran IEPE impulse sledge hammer incorporates a special acceleration compensated piezoelectric force sensors in the hammer head at the striking face, ensuring a smooth frequency spectrum that is free from anomalies. 		N/A The Dytran model 5803A is an IEPE impulse sledge hammer, used to excite larger structures with a definable impulse force, for purposes of studying their dynamic behavior. The impulse is used to identify resonances, an important measurement parameter for the study of dynamic behavior, as well as to help determine the overall structural health of a test specimen.

With a sensitivity of 1 mV/lbf and an available measurement range of 5,000 lbf, model 5803A is the largest of the Dytran sledge hammers with a head weight of 12 pounds, and is supplied with four interchangeable impact tips. Electrical connection is achieved via a BNC jack located at the end of the hammer handle. Design of the Dytran IEPE impulse sledge hammer incorporates a special acceleration compensated piezoelectric force sensors in the hammer head at the striking face, ensuring a smooth frequency spectrum that is free from anomalies.
