Shank Adapter Cop 1036, Cop 1038, Cop 1238

The Atlas Copco / Epiroc COP 1036, COP 1038, and COP 1238 hydraulic drifters represent the backbone of global mid-sized underground tunneling and production blasting. While these three drifter families often share identical spline arrangements (such as 8-spline structures) and thread connections (T38 or T45), they are not universally interchangeable. Each generation feature highly distinct internal dampening, flushing sleeve setups, and piston strike-face alignments. Installing an incorrect alternative variant will lead to rapid internal flushing bypass, accelerated wear on the front-head brass bushings, or early destruction of your drifter's internal components. Gdrills has precision-engineered separate, dedicated striking bars for each variant to ensure 100% operational matching.

To prevent costly ordering mistakes at the drill site, use our technical reference grid below to cross-examine the precise geometrical variations in overall length, flushing seal seating intervals, and internal stress transmission diameters:

If your rig's historical maintenance logs are incomplete or your machine has undergone a front-head retrofit (机头前部改装升级), ordering solely by guess can cause catastrophic fluid contamination. Follow our senior metallurgical engineering checklist below to isolate your exact model requirement:

Step 1: Audit the Internal Piston Striking Contact Footprint

Select the COP 1036 Shank if you are operating an older, non-dampened drifter setup where the piston head measures under 40mm. The striking face on the 1036 is narrow and tailored for pure high-frequency, lower-energy velocity impacts.

Select the COP 1038 Shank if your machine utilizes standard original hydraulic dampening pistons. The striking face diameter is optimized  42mm to match the energy wave of the 1038 series piston without offset energy loss.

Select the COP 1238 Shank if your rig features the modern, high-output heavy-duty internal piston. The striking impact face is widened to 45mm, designed specifically to absorb the crushing recoil generated by high-power $15\text{ kW}$ to $18\text{ kW}$ hydraulic packages.

Step 2: Measure the Flushing Seal Land Trajectory (The Water-Box Check)

Open your drifter's front chuck assembly and measure the total length from the front thrust ring to the rear seal pack locator.

The COP 1036 features a very short flushing sleeve footprint. The entire shank body is compact, limiting water travel to a localized single-seal zone.

The COP 1038 relies on a dual-groove configuration where the primary flushing water seals are placed exactly 142mm from the striking end.

The COP 1238 introduces an extended, high-pressure flushing layout. The seal positions are pushed further down the shaft body to accommodate the heavy-duty multi-stage internal seal configurations meant to handle aggressive, highly-corrosive underground water scavenging pressures.

Senior Field Engineer's Warning: Never attempt to force-fit a COP 1038 shank into a COP 1238 front head. Even if the thread matches and the splines slide into the rotation chuck, the misalignment of the internal flushing ports will cause high-pressure water to punch straight past the seals, injecting mud and water directly into your main hydraulic oil tank, causing total system contamination within hours.

Gdrills' shank adapters are firstly packed in a protective white box, providing a layer of cushioning against potential external damage. then, it is placed in a wooden case to offer additional protection and prevent any shifting or impacts during transportation.

To better serve customers, we offer multiple shipping options such as sea, air, or train.
