Amplitude is the distance a device's working surface travels during its motion. It is one of the clearest mechanical differences between many vibration and percussion tools.
Why amplitude matters
A longer stroke generally creates a more pronounced in-and-out motion. A shorter stroke can feel more like concentrated vibration when paired with high frequency.
Speed is not depth
A faster device is not automatically deeper, and a deeper stroke is not automatically more effective for every goal.
Compare complete specifications
Use amplitude together with frequency, motion type, weight, ergonomics and intended use.
