Impulse Hammer
GK series


GK series impulse hammer is an excitation hammer which is built in a sensor to measure a natural vibration frequency or perform modal analysis of a mechanical structure.

In addition to the GK-3100 for general purpose usage, the GK-2110 is an ultra compact type weighing of 4.8 g for excitation of small and light-weighted parts. For excitation of large structures such as automobile’s framework structure, the large type of the GK-4110G10 weighing of 1.1 kg is suitable. You can choose any one depending on your requirements.

By mounting an accelerometer on a measurement object and hitting it with impulse hammer, excitation force signals from an impulse hammer and response acceleration signals from an accelerometer are input to an FFT analyzer to enable measurement of the frequency response function (natural frequency). Moreover, you can perform modal analysis of the object by sending the obtained frequency response function data to a PC in which modal analysis software is installed.

 

Features

■ GK-2110

  • As a light-weighted of 4.8g (when attached with a plastic hammer handle), the GK-2110 enables excitation for noise analysis from a small case of HDD or thin pipe in compressor etc. and its measures.
  • Up to around 20 kHz of excitation is available.
  • 2 kinds of hammer handles are provided as standard to meet your requirements. The hammer with a plastic hammer handle can be used as an excitation for exceptionally-light measurement object. Whereas the hammer with aluminum hammer handle provides a large excitation force.

■ GK-3100

  • Attaching an extender mass (provided as standard) on the GK-3100 (140 g as standard) weighs a total of 220 g. Only using the GK-3100 gives a wide range of excitation force.
  • Exclusive sensor amplifier is provided as standard.
  • 4 kinds of impact tips are provided as standard. Excitation frequency can be changed according to requirements of your test structures.

■ GK-4110G10

  • The GK-4110G10 impulse hammer weighing of 1.1 kg can perform vibration analysis of the trestle for machinery which has a great effect on an accuracy of machine tool or modal analysis of automobile’s framework structure.
  • Built-in amplifier with CCLD enables direct connection to analyzers.
  • 4 kinds of impact tips are provided as standard. Excitation frequency can be changed according to requirements of your test structures.
