C41-6 Air Hammer Machine for Light Metal Forging


The GSK C41-6 Air Hammer Machine is a compact forging machine designed for light-duty metal forming, blacksmithing, artistic wrought-iron work and small open-die forging applications.

With a 6 kg falling-part weight, 0.066 kJ maximum hit energy and up to 248 blows per minute, the machine provides repetitive hammering power for small forging operations while occupying significantly less workshop space than larger forging hammers.

Measuring 480 × 340 × 670 mm and weighing approximately 126 kg, the C41-6 is particularly suitable for small blacksmith shops, metalworking workshops, training facilities and businesses that need a compact air hammer machine for light metal forging.


Why Choose the C41-6 Air Hammer Machine?


Compact Design for Small Forging Workshops

One of the main advantages of the C41-6 is its compact size.

With overall dimensions of only 480 × 340 × 670 mm, this small air hammer machine requires considerably less workshop space than larger forging hammers.

It is well suited to blacksmith shops, repair workshops, vocational training facilities and small metalworking businesses where available floor space is limited.

Up to 248 Blows per Minute

Repeated manual hammering can become inefficient when operators need to perform the same forming process continuously.

The C41-6 provides up to 248 blows per minute, helping improve efficiency during drawing, upsetting, bending and other light forging operations.

This repetitive striking capability makes the machine particularly useful for workshops that need higher productivity than manual forging can provide.

Designed for Light-Duty Forging

The C41-6 uses 6 kg falling parts and delivers a maximum hit energy of 0.066 kJ.

This positions the machine as a compact air hammer for small forged parts rather than a heavy-duty industrial forging hammer.

It is suitable for applications including:

  • Small metal components

  • Decorative forged products

  • Blacksmithing

  • Artistic wrought iron

  • Small agricultural tools

  • Light open-die forging

  • Repair and maintenance work

0.75 kW Motor

The machine is equipped with a 0.75 kW motor running at 1440 rpm.

For workshops that mainly process smaller forged components, this configuration provides a practical balance between machine capacity, installation requirements and power consumption.

Compact 126 kg Machine Body

The C41-6 weighs approximately 126 kg.

Compared with larger C41 forging hammers weighing several hundred kilograms or more, the compact machine is easier to position in smaller workshops and requires less installation space.


What Can the C41-6 Air Hammer Machine Do?


The C41-6 air hammer machine can perform a range of basic forging operations on appropriately sized heated metal workpieces.

Drawing-Out

Drawing reduces the cross-section of a heated workpiece while increasing its length.

This process is commonly used when producing bars, tapered components and elongated forged parts.

Upsetting

Upsetting compresses the length of a workpiece to increase its cross-section.

It can be used when forming thicker ends or preparing material for subsequent forging operations.

Bending

The machine can assist with bending heated metal into required angles or curved profiles.

This is useful for decorative metalwork, tools and other forged components.

Punching

Suitable dies and tooling can be used to produce or prepare holes in heated workpieces.

Chiseling

The hammer can assist with cutting and separating suitable heated metal during forging.

Twisting

Twisting operations can be performed on suitable heated workpieces, particularly in decorative and artistic forging applications.


How to Choose an Air Hammer Machine


Before purchasing an air hammer machine, buyers should consider several important factors.

1. Workpiece Material

Different metals have different forging temperatures and deformation characteristics.

Provide the material grade or type you normally process so the appropriate hammer capacity can be evaluated.

2. Maximum Workpiece Size

Workpiece dimensions are one of the most important factors when selecting a forging hammer.

Provide the maximum diameter, square section or overall dimensions of the parts you plan to forge.

3. Forging Process

Clarify the operations that will be performed most frequently, such as:

  • Drawing

  • Upsetting

  • Bending

  • Punching

  • Twisting

  • Chiseling

This helps determine whether the C41-6 provides sufficient forging capacity.

4. Production Volume

A machine used occasionally in a blacksmith shop has different requirements from one used for repeated industrial production.

Providing expected daily or monthly production volume helps with machine selection.

5. Workshop Space

Check the machine dimensions as well as the operating and safety space required around the equipment before installation.

6. Local Electrical Supply

Confirm the required voltage, frequency and electrical configuration before placing an order.

For international buyers, GSK can discuss electrical requirements according to the destination market.
