1. What is the primary function of these shank adapters?
The shank adapter is designed to transmit power from the rock drill to the drill string, ensuring high-efficiency energy transfer and durability under intense drilling conditions.
2. Are these adapters compatible with all mentioned brands?
Yes, they are specifically engineered to meet the specifications for Epiroc BBE series, Furukawa HD 260, Ingersoll-Rand YH 60, Montabert H 100, and Tokyo Riuki HD 260 models.
3. What thread options are available for the BBE 56U2 model?
We offer both T38 and T45 thread types for the BBE 56U2, BBE57, and BBE5701 series, both featuring a standard length of 550mm.
4. How is the durability of the shank adapter ensured?
The adapters are manufactured using high-quality alloy steel and undergo precision heat treatment to withstand the high impact and rotational forces of modern hydraulic drifters.
5. Can I use these for underground and surface drilling?
Yes, these shank adapters are suitable for various drilling environments, including tunneling, drifting, and surface bench drilling, depending on the machine setup.
6. Why is the front end diameter critical?
The 45mm (1.75 in.) front end diameter ensures a perfect fit with the internal bushings of the rock drill, preventing premature wear and maintaining alignment.
