General Purpose IEPE Impact Hammers – Precise Structural Testing Tools
Metromatics supplies a high-quality range of General Purpose IEPE Impulse Hammers (also known as Impact Hammers). Ideal for modal analysis, structural testing, and dynamic response measurements. These hammers deliver accurate force input signals into a structure, enabling engineers to measure frequency response functions (FRFs) and characterise vibrational behaviour.
You can find a lightweight hammer for delicate parts or a strong one for big machines and heavy structures in our range.
