Power Hammer vs Pneumatic Forging Hammer: What Is the Difference?

The terms power hammer and pneumatic forging hammer are often used together, but they are not always exactly the same.

A power hammer is a general term for a powered hammer used in forging. It can refer to several types of powered forging hammers.

What Is a Pneumatic Forging Hammer?

A pneumatic forging hammer is more specific. It refers to a forging hammer that uses a pneumatic working system to move the hammer ram and deliver repeated impact force onto heated metal.

Are They the Same Machine?

A pneumatic forging hammer is one type of power hammer. This means all pneumatic forging hammers are power hammers, but not all power hammers are pneumatic forging hammers.

Which Machine Is Best for Open Die Forging?

A pneumatic power hammer is commonly used for open die forging, blacksmith forging, tool making, repair work and hot metal forming. It can perform drawing-out, upsetting, bending, punching, chiselling, twisting and forge welding with suitable tooling and operator control.

Wiz Machinery helps customers choose the right pneumatic forging hammer or power hammer based on material, workpiece size and production requirements.
