Stoneridge Engineering Home |
Thanks for the tip! I have explored both the pneumatic and hydraulic routes as well as the mechanical (A ballpeen on a cam !) for various bizarre reasons having to do with safety and space, I need as few moviing parts as possible, also lazyness. What if I went along with a stroke of 1" to 2"?

: This coin shrinking by Electrocapacitive discharge is even more fun than
: using a defibrillator on people! It is the best demonstration I have ever
: seen of using first class science to produce a wacky endproduct. My
: question is how would I go about creating what is a real dead end product
: for me. (Can't find parts or specs)
: I wish to make an electro magnetic hammer. Specs: Vertical mounting, 3-4
: inch stroke, 80-100 percent duty cycle. Cycle rate 80-120 strokes per
: minute. Hit will have 5-15 pounds of impact strength.
: Purpose: cold forging of Silver, hot forging of small steel objects.

: Hello Sandy,
: Glad you enjoyed your visit to the site. A man's gotta' have a hobby... :^)
: Because of the length of the stroke (3-4"), there are no simple
: electromagnetic solutions that come to mind. In fact, the simplest (and
: least expensive!) solution may be to use an electrically controlled air
: cylinder with a 4-5" stroke. You'll need a source of compressed air
: and an air regulator. By varying the amount of air pressure via the
: regulator, you can control the speed and the static force from the
: cylinder. And, by adding more or less mass to the hammer "head",
: you can control the impact force when it hits. You can control the cylinder
: electrically by using a solenoid valve. Sometimes a solenoid valve is even
: combined with an air cylinder for even more convenience. For some
: inexpensive examples of these devices see:
