Jon Smith Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Alright I've been looking into building a lightweight tire hammer (somewhere around a 25 lb ram) and the one thing I can't get my hands on is the specs for spring. When in doubt, ask the experts, right? What kind of spring usually goes into the DuPont linkage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westernironworks Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 i know how everyone seems to use a standard compression coil spring but why not use leaf springs,i think it might be easier to make also. to answer your question i dont know exactly what spring you will need sorry.

slowpoke Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Call, Little Giant Power Hammer and order a 25lb spring. Use the same measurements for the 25lb LG linkage and it will just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryforge Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 So how would you forge or form a spring for a power hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Smith Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I may try leaf springs. I had just thought the coil would be easier to get hold of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
