German Revolving Hammer

The Deutscher- Niles machinery works
near Berlin, Germany, have installed
a revolving hammer, the design of En-
gineer Carl Huber. There are two
working. arms of the machine and as
the blow is delivered against the anvil
the striking head recoils, clears the
anvil and continues to circle until again
ready to strike. The machine is oper-
ated by a belt and the design Is such
that two hammers can work at onces
one delivering blows from above and a
second from below. There Is no ques-
tion about the speed of the machine:
indeed the main difficulty has been to
reduce the rapidity so as to approx
mate in effect the long. heavy sledge
hammer delivery of hand use. Where
two hammers are used no anvil Is
necessary and here the machine is seen
at It's best, for, as is well known. the
anvil absorbs power. In other words
the entire energy Is converted into
forging work.
The two rotating systems act better
when made to coaet by being connected
by toothed gear In order TO insure that
the blows from either side are stimuli
taneous. This affords uniform forging.
In the hammer at work at the
Deutscher- Niles works there are only
two striking arms. but the design per-
mits of four being employed. General
ly speaking two hammers suffice. and
for every revolution each hammer
strikes twice The machine may be
directly coupled to belt, electro
motor or steam turbine. There is
spring attachment connected to each
hammer. When not working the
springs cause both hammer elements
to irnpinge in the circumference of
the housing, but as soon as the ma
chine Is started the arms, by rea-
son of the centrifugal force employed,
are released, this action being akin
to the movements of the balls of
governor. This equal outward swing
of the hammers would. of course, not
give the desired result Therefore. as
soon as the hammers have made
number of revolutions the anvil would
have to be put into position in order
that the hammers could do their work.
At the first blow on the anvil by one
of the hammers the other hammer
takes up position on the outer ac-
tive course, compelling the first to re-
turn to the inner inactive course. Thus
the necessary impetus, is given. and
an outer and inner course on the up-
per and lower sides of the housing is
formed in order to guide the active
hammer, Immediately after expendine
It's energy, out of the outer course
into the inner inactive course past
the work or anvil and to allow it to
pass again into the outer course at
the right moment The space taken
up by the machine is rrifiing
