power hammers rated weight of moving parts act directly on work piece. includes weight of parts may consist of upper die, ram, mechanical linkage arms , spring(s) or ram, piston, , associated connecting rod(s). specific design elements dictated power source. largest power hammer powered steam , rated @ 125 short tons (113 t).
