Pneumatic air hammer

Working Principle

The pneumatic air hammer drives the piston inside the cylinder to reciprocate at high speed using compressed air: Compressed air (typically 6-8 BAR) alternately enters the upper and lower chambers of the cylinder. When the piston is pushed downward to strike, its kinetic energy is converted into high-frequency mechanical impact force (hundreds to thousands of times per minute) through the tool head (such as a chisel), completing operations like crushing and forging. The piston then resets as the airflow reverses, generating continuous impacts in cycles. It features a simple structure, explosion-proof design, and adjustable impact force, but requires a continuous and stable air supply.

Features

• High-frequency impact: Hundreds to thousands of impacts per minute, suitable for high-intensity operations.

• Adjustable impact force: The impact strength can be flexibly adjusted via air pressure or flow valves to match different task requirements.

• Explosion-proof design: No electrical components, ideal for flammable and explosive environments such as petroleum and chemical industries.

• High temperature / high load resistance: Stable operation in high-temperature forging workshops or under long-term high loads.

• Simple structure: Mainly composed of cylinder, piston, and valve, with low failure rate and easy maintenance.

• Lightweight and durable: More lightweight than electric tools, with strong impact resistance.

• Air supply dependency: Requires a stable compressed air supply (typically 6-8 BAR), limiting mobility.

• High noise level: Must be used with mufflers or ear protection measures.
