      You mean wear on the hammer surface? It's easy to control with electric designs as the motor is only going to put out what it puts out.
      (Well, unless you're like me and wonder what happened when you put 120VAC to a12 DC motor, lol)
      Air designs you could theoretically over-speed, but most air systems are standardized.
      You mostly run into that problem in hydraulic powered tools as small changes in flow make big changes in power.

    Fascinating stuff there. I recall in my high school physics class the teacher explained how angular momentum could be conserved in elastic or inelastic "collisions" of rotating shafts, but I could tell he was having a hard time finding any examples of this - here we have it! Now planning to become a high school physics teacher myself I anticipate I'll show some of these clips to my future classes. Another cool thing about the physics here is that some of these have the hammer bouncing back rather than simply stopping - that actually increases the momentum transfer as there is greater momentum change (going not just to zero but negative). And the spring doesn't just push the hammer forward, it stores energy then will spring the hammer forward potentially faster than the motor.

      @233kosta 2 роки тому +2

      For your brighter students, I'd introduce energy methods for solving collisions. Basically, the "torque" you get out of this thing is actually rooted in the kinetic energy stored in the hammer and dumped through the anvil. This one isn't conserved, there's plenty of waste going on, but enough makes it to the shaft to be very useful. Anyway, since everything is basically a spring, you can store energy throughout the whole system just like when using a spring. The relationship is linear as well - it's just Hooke's law. Where things get interesting is what happens once static friction is broken. Whatever energy is left after tensioning the entire system up to its point of either yield or maximum allowable static friction has to go into causing "permanent" rotation or deformation.
      Showing some of the high speed video will demonstrate how every hammer blow adds just a little bit of rotation to the fastener, which gets smaller as the video progresses due to more energy being required to overcome the static friction holding the thing in place.
      This might be a good introduction to energy methods for impact analysis, should any of them wish to take up mechanical engineering later on.

    When I first bought my house, I used to frame walls and things with a hammer and a bunch of nails. Then I discovered impact drivers and construction screws and now framing is my favorite job to do! I have an electric, corded driver and its so good at sinking construction screws into 2x4. And every screw pulls things together more and more. Unlike hammering nails where you are tightening the one you are hitting and loosening all the rest.

    Fantastic video. Super clear explanation and video , with a pleasant non rambling speaking voice , a rarity on UA-cam .
    here's something interesting you might not have heard of . In Germany , where i live , i had a log style house built six years ago and noticed during the construction of some structural beams that the workers were NOT using impact wrenches on large screws . They said it wasn't allowed . The reason being that the impact action tended to ream out the holes in the wood when the screw is being installed .

    • @233kosta
      @233kosta 2 роки тому +1

      Yeh, that makes sense. These things aren't exactly torque limited (like yonder Makita drill, for example). They deliver a fixed amount of energy (per ugga-dugga). While the screw is going in, that energy goes into driving said screw a little bit at a time (but many blows each second). Once the screw is fully seated, that energy still has to go somewhere. It's not like the torque-limiting clutch on the drill, where a bunch of spring-ball detents just let go (though that makes a similar sound), this is a big hunk of metal spinnamathingin' like crazy one moment and coming to more or less a complete stop *through that screw* the next. Where wood is concerned, when it can't cut it'll just shred.

    Superb display of how these actually work. As an ASE Master Mechanic with over 30 years' experience, I still use shop air except for interior and 1/4 drive work. I love my Mac Racing 1/2 inch twin hammer air guns which are about 20 years old now. Even with hard daily use they only need seals and anvils about every five years. While other tech's use battery power almost exclusively, I drag the hose around for two primary reasons.
    #1 The air is there and it has zero (0) effect on my commission. Shop air is expensive for the shop, but free to me. I've never asked the boss to buy my batteries, but I'm sure someone has and they still don't. New batteries work well with daily cycling but they still run out of power a lot compared to the compressor which has a worst case down time of 1 day every 15 years.
    #2 Extreme and unforgiving power. In the real world, we don't use the recommended 90 PSI. That air hose has 130-140 PSI. I know when I put a massive socket on my gun and put that socket on the front crank bolt of a Lexus, two things will happen.
    The gun will leave unless I hold on very tight with both hands and the bolt will come out. It always works.
    Awesome video!

  • @benjaminshields9421
    @benjaminshields9421 Рік тому +1

    I love the scientific approach and dive! My only gripe is that you described what was going on in the impact driver using force and not impulse.
    Regardless of the similar name, I understand force being more easily understood by a wider audience, but it does not describe best what's going on.
    The force imparted by the hammer can only be as high as the force returned by the load. The force coming from the load end is what is responsible for the measurable acceleration (the hammer slowing down). However, it is much easier and, honestly, more intuitive to analyze momentum and impulse, or mass times *velocity*.

  • @fz0gtg
    @fz0gtg Рік тому

    Great job on the video! A point of clarification when speaking about fastening, dynamic torque refers to a fastener being driven at a relative speed while in continuous motion. An impact tool by design drives the fastener with strikes and pauses which requires the fastener to overcome static friction each time, stealing a portion of the applied energy away that was intended to developing the clamp load needed to properly secure a given joint. The up side to impact tools is that they reduce the reaction force felt by the user allowing for for higher torques to be achieved without the need for torque reaction devices! When joint loading accuracy is of the utmost importance a DC electric fastening tool is the tool of choice as it tightens in a truly dynamic manner! Lastly, we can limit the negative impact of the variation in friction of a joint by using a torque + angle tightening strategy as it relies less on applied torque and more on mechanical rotation to drive the fastener!

    THANK YOU for showing the twin hammer design in action!! I use the IR 2235TiMAX and have been curious about it's basic hammer function but had no interest in opening it up. Listed at 1,300 ft lb max torque, and 1220 IPM, it is a lightweight beast.

    Learning the whole different theory of operation with cordless (or corded for that matter) over an air tool was cool. Nice work

    Very interesting. I have wondered for some time how an impact works. I have used them for over 30 years.

    Thanks for this very interesting video. I had no idea how an impact driver works. Now I know what I should look for before buying one.

    10:40 I remember the first time I experienced an impact wrench. My boss asked me to hold a water pump so he can take a bolt off it. I braced as hard as I could, expecting it to try to wring the pump out my hands. He said "Nah relax, it doesn't work that way" and ugga-dugga'd it off with the impact, with no effort on either of our ends. It was like magic, torques the bolt but not the part or your hands!

      inertia from the mass of the object does it, since it can't accelerate very long with the brief impact

    Nice explanation and use of high speed camera.

    The reaction you feel comes from accelerating the hammer through that cam. First only just a little bit, as the spring resists the cam, but then when the motor is up to speed and that hammer is reaching the end of the cam track there'd be quite a bit more reaction as the two impact.
    Making the cam track longer and shallower can mitigate that by essentially stretching it out through time, but that would also slow down the impact rate of the tool. Either way, the tool will recoil just like a big cannon does. Can't escape conservation of momentum.

    Could you make an Frankenstein Impact, Basically Cordless Hammer and Anvil driven by Air ?

    • @TorqueTestChannel
      @TorqueTestChannel  2 роки тому +4

      Yeah, some air mechanisms are already ball and sprung cam, just sort of work differently 17:34. It would just make less power using a cordless style mechanism though.

    Have a good way to see this is with one of those 12-volt cigarette lighter impact guns you can buy that are cheap thay spin up to a high-speed then impact once before spinning up again
    Low impacts per minute but quite a lot of force

    With those spring loaded hammer designs, you have to keep them within their designed RPM. They tend to self destruct if they get over sped. A mechanical spring can only react so fast.
