The difference between a high-frequency hammer and a breaker hammer

June 10, 2025View:

High-frequency hammers and breakers are two different types of construction machinery accessories, and the main differences lie in their working principles and application scenarios. The high-frequency hammer reassembles soil or rock particles through high-frequency vibration (typically 1500-3000 times per minute) and is suitable for fine operations such as piling and compaction; The breaker hammer, driven by hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, strikes the drill rod at a high frequency (typically 20-50J), and is specifically designed for high-intensity operations such as rock breaking and concrete demolition.

Comparison of technical principles:

High-frequency hammer: It uses an eccentric wheel mechanism to generate vertical vibration, with more concentrated energy transfer and less disturbance to the surrounding structure (amplitude typically 5-15mm).

Breaker hammer: It generates impact force by the reciprocating motion of a piston, with greater single impact energy (common model impact energy 20-55J)

Application scenario differences:

High-frequency hammer: Building foundation treatment, sheet pile construction, micro-pile engineering and other scenarios that require precise control

Crushing hammer: Mining operations, demolition of old buildings, road surface demolition and other situations that require strong crushing

Selection tips:

• Soil improvement/pile driving preferred high-frequency hammer (vibration frequency recommended > 2000 times/minute)

• Demolition of concrete structures must use a breaker (impact energy > 35J) Now the store has engineering equipment such as flood control pile drivers, with a high speed of 1500RPM and 360° full rotation capability, impact energy up to 20-55J, portable design suitable for various emergency scenarios.
