Rock drilling tools manufacturer produces shank adapters for most models of current prevailing rock drill machines. All shank adapters are carburized, CNC manufactured, and made from premium steel. Thus ensure them with superior toughness and anti-fatigue strength to meet the most demanding drilling conditions.
Male shank adapters are generally better suited for drifting, tunneling and extension applications where high bending stresses are present. While female shank adapters are used when the drilling space is limited and the total feed length is important, for example underground roof bolting.
The task of the shank adapter is to transmit rotation torque, feed force, impact energy and flushing medium to the drill string (extension drill rods, drifting drill steels). Around 300 different shank adapters suitable for different rock drills are currently available from various series drifters.
