Hammer Test Bench
The AEM tool energy rating test bench simulates actual working conditions under controlled environments. Each hammer is tested 25 times, observed by the AEM certified tester. Each impact is then measured by strain gauges on the tool bit, recorded, and compared with other AEM-MBMB certified breakers. All variables, like flow and pressure, which affect impact energy throughout the tests, are averaged to one specific value. By having this test bench, all hammers manufactured complying with AEM-tool energy ratings give customers a more practical and accurate standard to select a hammer. Only hammers that have been tested and certified under AEM regulation can display the AEM-MBMB decal.
