Development and manufacturing in Wuppertal
In-house development backed by experience
Our pneumatic hammers were developed in Wuppertal and are continuously refined. We draw on the extensive expertise of our employees and their many years of experience in their respective fields. Close collaboration between development, manufacturing and assembly allows us to apply this knowledge directly to the ongoing development of our tools.
Manufactured in-house
From turning, grinding and milling to metal fabrication and final assembly, we manufacture our hammers entirely in-house, apart from castings and plastic parts. At every stage, experienced employees contribute their craftsmanship and detailed knowledge of our tools. This brings the manufacturing and assembly of our hammers together at a single location.

Models & specifications ↗F+K / Handles & construction
The right handle for your task
The handle shape influences how a pneumatic tool is held, positioned and guided. The appropriate design depends on the working position, the task and the weight of the tool.
Pistol grip
The angled grip allows the tool to be held and operated with the same hand. It helps with precise positioning and alignment.
Shown: FK 101.1 ↗
Open handle
The handle is open at the bottom, providing easy access and allowing the operator to reposition their grip as the working position changes.
Shown: FK 102.4 ↗
Closed bow handle
The closed bow allows a firm grasp of the handle. It supports controlled guidance when positioning the tool and during work.
Shown: FK 3.3 ↗
Double handle / T-handle
Two side handles allow the hammer to be held and guided with both hands. This arrangement is particularly suited to larger hammers and predominantly vertical work.
Shown: FK 2020 R.64 ↗How our pneumatic hammers are built
Compressed air drives the impact piston. An automatic valve controls the repeated impact cycle. The FK 3 G cutaway illustrates the basic principle; handle design, valve type and tool retention vary by model.
Handle and inlet valve
The handle is used to hold and guide the tool. The inlet valve admits compressed air when the control is pressed and closes when it is released.
Control
The trigger or lever switches the hammer on and off. Its design depends on the handle type.
Air connection
Connects the tool to the compressed air supply. Connection size and air requirements depend on the model.
Vibration damping
On vibration-damped versions, the handle is spring-mounted relative to the percussion mechanism. This reduces vibration transmitted to the hands.
Air distribution valve
A plate valve or tubular slide valve distributes the air to control the piston’s forward and return strokes. A tubular slide valve is shown.
Silencer
Reduces the noise of the exhaust air. Its shape and position vary between tools.
Impact piston
Moves back and forth inside the cylinder and transfers impact energy to the inserted tool when it strikes.
Cylinder
Guides the impact piston and forms its working chamber. Together with the valve, it enables the repeated impact cycle.
Chisel bush
Guides the matching shank and supports the tool laterally while allowing movement in the impact direction.
Tool retainer
Retains the inserted tool while allowing axial movement. Designs include spring and screw-on retainers; a screw-on retainer is shown.
Buffer rings
Elastic rings cushion the impact of the tool collar against the retainer. Their design and number depend on the model.
Inserted tool
Transfers the impacts to the workpiece. Chisels, rivet sets or other inserts are selected to suit the task and tool socket.
The illustrations show example configurations. Follow the instructions for the individual tool regarding operation and designated gripping points.
