The acoustic head is intended for ultrasonic measurement at non-destructive testing and quality control of solid bodies and articles. The herein disclosed head includes, in addition to an electromechanical transducer, e.g. a piezoelectric one, shock-damping means, protector and means for pressing the transducer to a test object, an electric motor (7) mounted in the housing (1) of the head, an eccentric (9) mounted on the shaft (8) of the motor and engaging the holder (3) of the transducer through a groove (10) made in this holder. When the electric motor (7) is supplied with electric power, the structure of the head provides for generating specified vibratory oscillation of the transducer (2) relative to the housing (1), and when the head is applied to a test object, this oscillation is effected relative to this object, the vibration of the transducer (2) being effected under conditions of high-quality acoustic contact, with easily reproduced parameters.
