Blacksmith Air Pneumatic Hammer

About Blacksmith Air Pneumatic Hammer

A Blacksmith Air Pneumatic Hammer is a specific type of pneumatic forging hammer designed for blacksmith workshops, tool makers, and small to medium-scale forging. It uses compressed air to deliver rapid, controlled hammer blows, making it much more efficient than manual hammering or treadle hammers.

Blacksmith Air Pneumatic Hammer Overview

Working Principle:

• Compressed air drives a piston connected to the hammer ram.

• The piston moves up and down rapidly, delivering controlled blows onto the workpiece placed on the anvil.

• The operator controls the hammer force and frequency with a foot pedal or hand lever.

Main Parts:

1. Hammer Ram (Striking Head) The moving part that hits the hot metal.

2. Anvil Block Heavy base that supports workpieces and absorbs impact.

3. Air Cylinder & Piston Core mechanism powered by compressed air.

4. Control Valve & Pedal Allows adjustment of speed and striking force.

5. Frame/Body Holds everything rigid and stable.

Advantages for Blacksmiths:

• Versatility Can handle light taps or heavy forging blows.

• Productivity Much faster than manual hammering.

• Precision Easy to control for drawing, upsetting, bending, or flattening.

• Durability Built to withstand continuous blacksmith shop use.

• Less Fatigue Operator doesnt need to use physical force.

Common Applications:

• Shaping and drawing out hot steel bars.

• Forging blades (knives, swords, tools).

• Making ornamental ironwork.

• General blacksmith forging jobs.

• Forging automotive, farm, and machine parts.

Typical Specifications (varies by model):

• Hammer Weight (Ram): 15 kg 75 kg (small to medium blacksmith use).

• Stroke Length: 200 400 mm.

• Blows per Minute: 200 300.

• Air Pressure Required: 5 7 bar (using standard air compressor).

• Anvil Weight: Usually 10x the ram weight (for stability).
