A rivet gun, also known as a rivet hammer or a pneumatic hammer, [1] is a type of tool used to drive rivets. The rivet gun is used on rivet's factory head (the head present before riveting takes place), and a bucking bar is used to support the tail of the rivet. The energy from the hammer in the rivet gun drives the work and the rivet against ...
By World War II, rivet guns were used widely in U.S. aircraft factories both for riveting aluminum sheets, and for flow forming, the process of working aluminum sheet into and over wooden forms by the application of the pneumatic rivet gun. Post-war industry brought many new applications for the "air hammer" technology. Among these were:
Air hammer (pile driver), a pile driver that is driven by air; Air Hammer (Transformers), a Beast Wars character; Jackhammer, a pneumatic or electro-mechanical tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel; Nail gun, a form of hammer used to drive nails into wood or other materials; Rivet gun a type of tool used to drive rivets
The downward force required to deform the rivet with an automatic riveting machine is created by a motor and flywheel combination, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder. Manual feed riveting machines usually have a mechanical lever to deliver the setting force from a foot pedal or hand lever.
Air hammer (fabrication), a pneumatic hand tool used to carve in stone, and to break or cut metal objects apart; Air hammer (pile driver), a pile driver that is driven by air; Jackhammer, a pneumatic or electro-mechanical tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel; Nail gun, a form of hammer used to drive nails into wood or other materials
A pneumatic tool, air tool, air-powered tool or pneumatic-powered tool is a type of power tool, driven by compressed air supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability.
Sheridan Products Inc. was formed to produce Pneumatic Air Pellet Rifles with production beginning in March 1947. In the early 1940s Co-founder Ed Wackerhagen, dissatisfied with a pellet gun used by his son, set out to build one of the finest airguns in history.
A pneumatic jackhammer, also known as a pneumatic drill or pneumatic hammer, [20] is a jackhammer that uses compressed air as the power source. The air supply usually comes from a portable air compressor driven by a diesel engine. Reciprocating compressors were formerly used.
