PCB Piezotronics, Inc. Impact Hammer, ICP® 086D05

The Impact Hammer, ICP® model 086D05 from PCB Piezotronics, Inc. is designed for modal analysis applications, featuring a built-in force sensor that measures the amplitude and frequency of the impact energy delivered to test objects. This model has a sensitivity of 1 mV/lbf (0.23 mV/N) and a measurement range of ±5000 lbf (±22,240 N). It operates with an excitation voltage of 20 to 30 VDC and a constant current excitation of 2 to 20 mA. The hammer is equipped with a quartz sensing element and is sealed with epoxy for durability. It has a hammer mass of 0.34 lb (0.16 kg) and a head diameter of 0.62 in (1.57 cm). The device is compatible with standard ICP® signal conditioners and includes multiple hammer tips to tailor the excitation content to the specific object being tested. The model also supports TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) for high channel count applications. Typical applications for the 086D05 include testing circuit boards, small machined components, and medium to heavy structures such as car frames and pumps. The hammer is suitable for use in various environments, ensuring reliable performance in structural health monitoring and resonance detection tasks.
