If the forging hammer is chosen appropriately, not only will production efficiency not be improved, but also a series of common forging problems in the forging industry will occur, such as high energy consumption, high cost, large material waste, and fast mold wear. Whether it is a small blacksmith workshop, a medium or small forging factory, or a large-scale production enterprise engaged in precision forging industries such as automotive forgings, heavy industrial shafts, aerospace, etc., choosing a forging hammer that suits you is the key to improving production, reducing costs, and increasing profits.
AYANK FORGING, combining over 70 years of production experience in manufacturing forging hammers, has compiled a set of accurate, executable, and quickly adaptable solutions for forging hammer selection. Considering multiple perspectives such as equipment classification, forging conditions, and workshop layout, we help procurement customers avoid common forging difficulties, accurately match models, and adapt to future development momentum.
Before selecting a suitable forging hammer, it is necessary to understand the working characteristics and application scenarios of different forging hammers. Currently, the commonly used forging hammers on the market can be divided into two major categories: die forging hammers and open-die forging hammers. Among them, die forging hammers are further divided into six subcategories: CNC full hydraulic die forging hammer, full hydraulic die forging hammer, electric screw press, direct-drive electric screw press, hot die forging press, and multi-directional forging hydraulic press. Open-die forging hammers are divided into five subcategories: pneumatic hammer, single-arm full hydraulic open-die forging hammer, double-arm full hydraulic open-die forging hammer, full hydraulic free forging hammer, and blacksmith hydraulic press.
The following further distinguishes them based on the usage scenarios and applications of different forging hammers：
What are the advantages of a hydraulic forging press?
Precise and stable pressure control: The hydraulic system can provide continuous, stable, and precisely adjustable huge pressure. Compared with impact-type forging hammers, this "static pressing" forming method can act more evenly on the material, reduce internal stress, and improve the quality of forgings.

J58KA Series Electric Screw Press
|
J58ZKA Series Servo Direct-Drive Electric Screw Press
|
|
Driven by a variable-frequency motor, the flywheel-screw outputs controllable forging blows. The striking energy can be programmed with high repeatability; the machine frame has strong rigidity, the slider guides accurately, and it has good resistance to eccentric loads. There is no fixed bottom dead center, so it does not get stuck. Compared with friction presses, it is more energy-efficient, quieter, and easier to maintain. Suitable for closed-die forging/precision forging (valves, gears/claw poles, connecting rods, flanges, hardware tools, tableware, etc.), especially good at non-ferrous precision forging of aluminum/copper and building automated lines with manipulators.
|
Using an AC permanent magnet synchronous servo motor to directly drive the flywheel/screw ("zero transmission"), the motor torque is directly transmitted to the screw, eliminating intermediate transmission components such as gears, belts, and clutches. The transmission path is short, energy loss is minimal, and the overall transmission efficiency can reach 85%-90% or more. At the same time, it possesses: replacing the traditional friction disc drive with a digital control system, shortening the transmission chain, and achieving precise closed-loop control of striking energy and stroke position. It features simple structure, energy saving and high efficiency, low noise, and low vibration. Applicable to hot precision forging, precision pressing, coining, flattening/finishing of steel/aluminum/copper and difficult-to-deform alloys; especially good at closed-die forging/near-net shaping of complex parts, and can be interfaced with manipulators/robots for automated lines. |
