Brand holderThe speed of an electric hammer or hammer drill used in power tools can vary widely depending on the specific model and brand. Electric hammers are designed for drilling into hard materials like concrete, masonry, and stone, and their speed is typically measured in rotations per minute (RPM) or impacts per minute (IPM).
Here are some common speed ranges for electric hammers:
-
Low-Speed Hammer Drills: These tools usually have an RPM range of 0 to 1,000 or 0 to 1,200. They are suitable for lighter drilling tasks and may also have a hammering function for masonry work.
-
Medium-Speed Hammer Drills: Medium-speed hammer drills typically have an RPM range of 1,200 to 2,000 or higher. They are versatile and suitable for a wide range of drilling tasks in various materials.
-
High-Speed Hammer Drills: High-speed hammer drills can have an RPM range of 2,000 to 3,500 or more. These are designed for fast drilling in hard materials and are often used in professional construction and drilling applications.
-
Rotary Hammers: Rotary hammers are heavy-duty tools with high IPM (impacts per minute) ratings. They are designed for drilling into concrete and masonry and often have an RPM range of 500 to 1,500 or more.
It's important to note that the speed and power of an electric hammer can also vary based on its power source, such as corded (electric) or cordless (battery-powered). Corded models generally provide higher and more consistent power compared to cordless ones, which may have limitations in terms of battery capacity and runtime.
When selecting an electric hammer or hammer drill for your specific task, consider the material you will be drilling into, the diameter of the holes you need to create, and the depth of the holes. Different materials and hole sizes may require different speed and impact settings for optimal performance. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations for the tool's speed settings and usage guidelines to ensure safe and efficient operation.
