These machines named forging hammers, power hammers or pile drivers works by two cylinders, one at the back and another one at the front which is the one that impulses the stem for the stroke. The motor for the power hammer moves the rod of the back cylinder or compressor and the compressed air goes to the front cylinder through the valves that control the stroke displacement. No need for any external compressor. They are manufactured in welded and mechanized steel sheet. They are used in many blacksmith workshops to make all kinds of forging ornamental pieces which eases the job of moulding hot steel. Different tooling are used: for inlaying, moulding, cutting, piercing, rivetting, embossing, etc, in all kinds of metals.
Power hammers are mechanical forging hammers that use a non-muscular power source to raise the hammer preparatory to striking, and accelerate it onto the work being hammered. Also called "Open Die Power Forging Hammers."
A typical power hammer consists of a frame, an anvil, and a reciprocating ram holding a hammer head or die. The workpiece is placed on the lower anvil or die and the head or upper die strikes the workpiece. The power hammer is a direct descendant of the trip hammer, differing in that the power hammer stores potential energy in an arrangement of mechanical linkages and springs, in compressed air, or steam, and by the fact that it accelerates the ram on the downward stroke. This provides more force than simply allowing the weight to fall.
