Demo forging hammer with hydraulic piston

First real test:

Inspired by builders kind to share on Youtube i made a test realizing an air hammer with a hydraulic cylinder running on air. It turned out working quite well and it was an easy build.

A heavier hammer should not be a problem as the lifting Power of this size of cylinder at 8 bar is estimated to at least 180kg.

I have put around 30 hours into this build.

2 valves in parallell to get enough air flow:

2 inductive sensors

1 controller board :

1 relay board:
