A pneumatic hammer, also known as an air hammer or pneumatichammer, is a type of power tool that uses compressed airto deliver high-impact blows to a workpiece. The pneumatichammer is most commonly used for breaking up concrete, but itcan also be used for other applications such as chiseling andriveting.
The basic operation of a pneumatic hammer is quite simple:compressed air is delivered to the hammer through an air hose,and the air pressure drives a piston inside the hammer up anddown. This up-and-down motion of the piston produces adynamically balanced force that is transferred to the workpiecethrough the Hammer Bit (the part of the pneumatic hammer thatcomes into contact with the workpiece).
The amount of force delivered by a pneumatic hammer can beadjusted by changing the size of the Hammer Bit, or bychanging the pressure of the compressed air being delivered tothe tool. Pneumatic hammers are available in a variety of sizesand configurations to suit different applications.
