AR Series Hammers llied 2.1 Introduction The Allied AR Series hammers are classi- fied by carrier application: (1) skid steer loaders (2) mini-excavators. Depending on the hammer model, the AR hammers are compatible with skid steer loaders and mini-excavators from 3,000 lbs.
AR Series Hammers llied 2.2 Description of Assembly Groups Cylinder The cylinder is the center section of the Cylinder Head hammer between the cylinder head and the tool holder. These three assemblies The cylinder head is the upper hammer are connected with tension rods.
AR Series Hammers llied Piston The piston reciprocates in the cylinder transferring its energy to the demolition tool upon impact. Tool Holder The tool holder holds the demolition tool in place with a retainer pin. A tool bush- ing and impact ring are located in the tool holder.
