This invention is comprised of a gauge for detecting the impulse generated in sample materials by X-rays or other impulse producing mechanisms which utilizes a pair of flat annular springs to support a plunger relative to a housing which may itself be supported by a pair of flat annular springs in a second housing. The plunger has a mounting plate mounted on one end and at the other, a position or velocity transducer is mounted. The annular springs consist of an outer ring and an inner ring with at least three arcuate members connecting the outer within the inner ring.
