Characteristics
The Type 8206 series feature built-in electronics and the output sensitivity is expressed in terms of voltage per unit force (mV/N or mV/lbf). The hammers also have built-in acceleration compensation that removes unwanted noise from the resonance of the hammer from the output signal. This results in a clean, smooth output signal representing the excitation in both amplitude and phase.
The impact hammer is supplied with three interchangeable impact tips of aluminium, plastic and rubber. The choice of impact tip determines the impulse shape (amplitude and duration) and the bandwidth of the excitation.
For increased head mass, a 40 gram head extender is available.
The handle has been ergonomically designed for optimal control of impact, thus reducing the risk of ®double hits”.
Calibration
The transducer is supplied with an individual calibration of the sensitivity.
