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.
