GiFerro Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I just bought a 60 kg hammer spring. around the hammer weighs about 900 kg. It was already anchored on blocks of wood, but I would like to use some other material to be placed between concrete and hammer to avoid vibrations on the top floor of the building, (I fear that the constant vibrations can cause damage to the building). Anchored to the floor as soon as I did the tests and on the upper floor vibrated even dishes on the kitchen, now after having cut the concrete around the perimeter of the hammer isolating the structure should have solved the problem? Vibrations decreased by much but still experience are waiting for an expert to be able to do the checks I ask you if there is ever something you have experiences in this regard, or advice that I can give? Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 i am not familiar with that brand of hammer. It looks failrly recent. and if it is in production maybe the manufacturor would have plans for a base. You may also want to look ffor the plans for mounting foundations for little giant hammers they are prettty specifics on how to prepare a base. There has also been some threads in the section on power hammers on this site. My gut feeling after use little giant brands for quite a while is if youi put this under a structure with floors above it they will always vibrate..,,I do not know how much you canlessen that.

Madmike Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 They are still in activity but the url of their website changed, http://www.maccaferri-snc.it/ ;) Go to hammers specs, then installation, there they say it needs a concrete foundation with wood beams and that you can ask for a drawing of the foundation...

matei campan Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I thought they are out of business as their old site isn't working anymore. @GiFerro could you make some pictures of the "inside" of the hammer, to see how it works, adjustments, etc. I'm very curious, but I think I'm not the only one. I've seen that hammer just in "official" pictures till now and not from an actual user. how does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Matei, I can just do a few pictures of the hammer, is one of my older leaf is a little less strong than those autocompressori but they told me that they are more accurate in determining the shots and their construction with mechanical parts are less likely to broken ... the new models have a workaround but more or less have the same effect. A motor at 380 volts. that spins a large pulley and inside has a clutch, more prizes the more the clutch pedal moves away from the pulley and the bat drops faster when soft has a double system to stop the travel, the leaf springs have only the task to amortize the strongest blows that's all .... I wanted to costruirmene one hand, but on balance should not waste time, my used cost me about 2000 euros about $ 2500, if you consider that weighs about 900 kg. I spent a lot of money just for the material, here in Italy they are also cheaper, mine is used very little hammers has provided new again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiFerro Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 here is a pattern that I found, but the foundation must have this trapezoidal shape, or you can make square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Go square but with the upper part as large as the bottom, to be sure, a bit more is better than having to break the first to make a bigger one :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
