Rebound Hammer Testing
The device consists of a plunger rod and an internal spring loaded steel hammer and a latching mechanism. When the extended plunger rod is pushed against a hard surface, the spring connecting the hammer is stretched and when pushed to an internal limit, the latch is released causing the energy stored in the stretched spring to propel the hammer against the plunger tip. The hammer strikes the shoulder of the plunger rod and rebounds a certain distance.
