The difference between impact drill and electric hammer

  The difference between impact drill and electric hammer

  1. Different properties

Electric hammer: An electric hammer is an electric rotary hammer drill with a safety clutch and a pneumatic hammering mechanism.

Impact drill: Impact drill relies on rotation and impact to work. A single impact is very slight, but a frequency of more than 40,000 impacts per minute produces continuous force. Can be used on natural stone or concrete.

  2. Different principles

Electric hammer: The principle of the electric hammer is that while the transmission mechanism drives the drill bit to rotate, there is also a reciprocating hammering motion in a direction perpendicular to the rotor. The electric hammer is driven by a transmission mechanism to reciprocate the piston in a cylinder to compress air. The periodic changes in the air pressure in the cylinder drive the hammer in the cylinder to reciprocate and strike the top of the brick, as if we were hitting the brick with a hammer, hence the name electric hammer.

Impact drill: When the impact drill is working, there is an adjustment knob at the drill bit chuck, which can be adjusted in two ways: ordinary electric hand drill and impact drill. However, the impact drill uses the gears on the inner shaft to jump against each other to achieve the impact effect, and the impact force is far less than that of the electric hammer. It is not suitable for drilling reinforced concrete.

  3. Different uses

Electric hammer: An electric hammer is a type of electric drill, mainly used to drill holes in concrete, floors, brick walls and stone. It specializes in drilling holes on walls, concrete, and stone. It also has a multi-functional electric hammer that can be used in place of ordinary electric drills and electric picks when adjusted to the appropriate position and equipped with appropriate drill bits. The advantages are high efficiency, large hole diameter and long drilling depth.

Impact drill: Mainly suitable for impact drilling on concrete floors, walls, bricks, stones, wooden boards and multi-layer materials; it can also be used for drilling and tapping on wood, metal, ceramics and plastics and is equipped with electronics Speed control equipment has functions such as forward/reversal.

Electric hammer

The electric hammer is an electric rotary hammer drill with a safety clutch and a pneumatic hammering mechanism. The electric hammer uses the principle of piston motion. Compressed gas impacts the drill bit. It does not require much effort by the hand. It can drill 6-100mm holes in hard materials such as concrete, bricks, and stones. The electric hammer is efficient in drilling holes in the above materials. Higher, but it cannot cut holes in metal.
