Pneumatic Metal Forging Hammer Machine

Pneumatic Forging Hammer Overview

The pneumatic forging hammer uses compressed air as its power source, converting air pressure into hammer energy for high-frequency, controllable strikes. It enables plastic deformation of billets into shafts, gear blanks, connectors, and other precision or heavy-duty components.

Compared with traditional steam hammers, it is cleaner, more efficient, and requires no complex piping. Striking force is easily adjustable, making it suitable for both small-batch precision forging and large-scale heavy forging. With its efficiency, flexibility, and eco-friendly operation, the pneumatic forging hammer is a key equipment in modern metal forming.

Structure & Design

• Robust Frame: Machine body made of cast iron for excellent vibration resistance; large-capacity anvil blocks are made of cast steel for superior durability.
• Durable & Low Maintenance: Simple structure, easy to maintain, long service life, and high production efficiency.
• Core Components: Composed of the body frame, transmission mechanism, compression cylinder, working cylinder, compression piston, valve system, and anvil block.

Additional Features

• Self-contained Power System: Unlike steam hammers or compressor-fed hammers, the pneumatic hammer has its own cylinder system, requiring no external compressor or high-pressure hoses.
• Automatic Lubrication: Equipped with a self-priming oil pump, achieving automatic lubrication during operation.
• Easy Operation: By controlling the hand lever or foot pedal, all functions—idle run, top setting, pressing down, single blow, light blow, or full series blow—can be easily achieved.
• Built to Last: Frames are heavy cast iron for long-term stability; internal parts are forged steel and precision-machined; crankshaft uses large tapered roller bearings in a sealed grease case, ensuring decades of trouble-free operation.

Applications of Pneumatic Forging Hammer

• Tool & Knife Forging: Forging blades, knives, hammers, chisels, and hand tools with strong impact energy and precise control, ensuring durable and consistent tool quality.
• Automotive & Machinery Parts: Producing shafts, gear blanks, connecting rods, and couplings, capable of handling large billets such as Φ320 mm round steel and 290×290 mm square steel.
• Hardware & Precision Components: Forging fasteners, rings, and small precision parts with high striking frequency (up to 258 blows/min) for efficient mass production.
• Industrial Open-Die Forging: Drawing-out, upsetting, bending, twisting, punching, chiseling, and forge welding of medium and large billets in open die forging workshops.
• Custom Forging Applications: Applied in mining, oil machinery, shipbuilding, aerospace, and other industries, designed for long-term reliable performance in harsh factory environments.
