Patent attributes
A jackhammer system for reducing the vibration and noise experienced by an operator of the jackhammer. The jackhammer system includes a housing, a chisel movably positioned within a lower neck of the housing, a pair of flywheels rotatably attached to a pair of support brackets, a ram slidably positioned within a guide channel and engageable by the flywheels to engage the chisel, a plurality of elastic members attached to the ram, and an actuator mechanically connected to the support brackets for controlling a position of the flywheels. An upper sensor and a lower sensor determine the position of the ram within the guide channel. An engaging plate supported by a plurality of compression springs receives the downwardly impact of the ram when driving the chisel downwardly. A recoil absorber having a recoil spring is attached to an upper portion of the housing for absorbing the recoil of the ram.
