Introduction to Efficiency in Rock Drilling In large-scale mining, quarrying, and civil engineering projects, performance efficiency is directly linked to operational profitability

There are usually 3 types of threads in rock drilling tools: R thead, T thread, and HL thread.

Shank adapter is a connecting part between hydrulic rock drill and drill rod (coupling sleeve). It mainly used to transmits impact force and rotation torque, and delivers water/ai

Shank adapter Atlas Copco owns 5 components mainly: shank end, shank spline, flushing hole, connecting thread, and pistion part.

The shank spline of shank adapter connect with spline couplings which is a part of rock drill.

During drilling operation, the rock drill generates rotational torque. The spline, through its toothed surface, tightly meshes with the drill's transmission components, ensuring a

Minor wear can be repaired. Cracked, deformed or severely worn splines should be replaced for safety.

The center hole inside of shank adapter is called air hole / flushing hole. It's key functions includes: flushing cuttings, cooling the drill bit, lubrication and dust suppression,

Once the spline shows wear, chipping, deformation or cracks, It is not recommended ti continue using or repairing it.
