Abstract
A powered hammer includes a housing, a tool holder coupled to the housing and configured to hold a tool, a motor within the housing, and a piston slideably mounted within the housing. A drive mechanism converts rotary output of the motor into a reciprocating motion of the piston. A ram is slideably mounted within the housing, forward of the piston, and is reciprocatingly driven by the piston. A beat piece is slideably mounted forward of the ram. The beat piece is repetitively struck by the reciprocating ram, which in turn repetitively strikes an end of the tool when held in the tool holder to transfer the momentum of the ram to the tool. A vibration dampener is coupled to the housing and is configured to remove metal splinters from lubricating fluid in the housing while counteracting vibration generated by movement of at least one of the piston, the ram, and the beat piece.
