Mechanical hammers are tools used to deliver a strong impact force to materials, typically for shaping or breaking them. They operate through a mechanism that converts rotational energy into linear motion, allowing the hammer to strike with significant power. These hammers are commonly used in construction, metalworking, and demolition. There are various types of mechanical hammers, including pneumatic hammers and hydraulic hammers. Pneumatic hammers use compressed air to create the striking force, while hydraulic hammers rely on fluid pressure. Both types are effective for tasks such as driving nails, breaking concrete, or shaping metal components.
