Abstract
A power hammer assembly providing forming capabilities while remaining economical with respect to performance, vibration, footprint size and acquisition costs. The power hammer assembly can provide for a single stroke speed and/or a single set stroke with respect to the striking of die assemblies against a piece of metal. The power hammer assembly can provide for a large throat area and/or a larger die gap for ease of use. The power hammer assembly can include adjustment features allowing for the use of die sets of varying configurations such as, for example, shank size, shank length or alternatively, die sets fabricated for use with other machinery. In addition, the power hammer assembly can include a belt transmission assembly designed to slip in the event of die interference during set-up or operation so as to avoid damaging the power hammer assembly.
