Choosing the correct
pneumatic hammer for a task
It is important to choose the correct size of pneumatic
hammer for the work to be performed.
A pneumatic hammer that is too small means that
the work will take longer.
A hammer that is too big means that there must be
frequent repositioning, which is unnecessarily tiring
for the operator.
A simple rule for choosing the correct size of
pneumatic hammer is that a normal sized piece of
broken material should be removed from the
workpiece within 5–10 seconds operation.
● If it takes less than 5 seconds a smaller pneumatic
hammer should be selected.
If it takes more than 10 seconds a larger
●
pneumatic hammer should be selected.
