Ilmaisukehan

Ilmaisukehan is a Finnish term that translates directly to "air hammer." It generally refers to a tool or device that uses compressed air to deliver a rapid, forceful strike. While the term is broad, it most commonly describes a type of pneumatic tool used in construction, demolition, and heavy industry.

These tools operate by utilizing the expansion of compressed air to drive a piston or hammer mechanism. This mechanism then strikes a chisel, bit, or other implement with significant force and speed. Ilmaisukehan can be handheld for tasks like breaking concrete, chipping metal, or driving stakes, or they can be mounted on larger machinery for more extensive demolition work.

The primary advantage of using an ilmaisukehan is its power and efficiency compared to manual tools. They can significantly speed up labor-intensive tasks. However, they also require a source of compressed air, typically from a compressor, and can generate considerable noise and vibration. Safety precautions, such as eye and ear protection, are essential when operating these tools. The specific design and application of an ilmaisukehan vary greatly depending on the intended use.
