Description
Product Overview
The M696 air hammer retainer spring by Cawla is a precision‑engineered component designed to restore the original performance of pneumatic hammers that have experienced spring fatigue. Measuring 3 × 35 × 56 mm, the spring features a robust metal core enveloped in a high‑grade black rubber coating that resists corrosion, wear, and temperature extremes. This dual‑material construction ensures that the spring can absorb and release energy consistently, providing the rapid hammering action required in automotive repair, sheet‑metal work, tire servicing, and heavy‑duty construction tasks. The spring is compatible with the popular Cawla models M550DB and M668, making it a direct replacement that eliminates the need for custom fitting or additional adapters. Each package contains four identical springs, allowing technicians to replace multiple units at once or keep spares on hand for future maintenance.
Usage
When a pneumatic hammer begins to lose its striking power, the retainer spring is often the first component to inspect. The M696 spring can be installed by removing the existing spring from the hammer’s retainer housing, positioning the new spring with its inner coil diameter of 28 mm and outer ring diameter of 34.4 mm, and securing it with the hammer’s built‑in latch. The process requires only basic hand tools and takes less than five minutes, minimizing equipment downtime. This spring excels in environments where rapid, repetitive impacts are essential, such as automotive assembly lines, tire repair bays, metal‑fabrication shops, and construction sites where portable pneumatic hammers are used for concrete breaking or demolition. Its black rubber exterior also reduces noise and vibration, contributing to a safer and more comfortable operator experience.
