ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention pertain to a drop hammer comprising a load, an actuator connected to the load, and a fluid circuit that is connected to the actuator and is connectable to a fluid source, such as a source of hydraulic power. The fluid circuit is operable with differential pressure to displace the load. The fluid circuit includes a slow-release device for releasing differential pressure, thereby slowly displacing the load as a function of flow from the fluid source. Embodiments of the present invention also pertain to a drop hammer comprising a frame, a selectively actuated rotatable sprocket mounted on the frame, a hammer implement, and at least one chain engaged by the sprocket. The chain includes two-pitch link that includes a catch between two pitched wings, the catch being configured for engaging the hammer implement, enabling the first chain to displace the hammer implement. Other embodiments pertain to a drop hammer that includes a frame and a selectively actuated hammer implement displaceably mounted on the frame. The hammer implement includes a collar surrounding an impact tool.
