How to distinguish between shank adapter and shank rod
Among the many products of rock drilling tools, although the names of shank adapter and shank rod are similar, their functions and uses are very different. Rock drilling tools are made of special drill steel materials through multiple precision processing and complex heat treatment processes. They are mainly used in drilling equipment in the mining and engineering blasting industries, such as drilling rigs and drilling vehicles, as consumable accessories for mechanical equipment.
shank rod: It is a hexagonal light threaded drill rod designed for small-diameter rock drilling operations. It is used in conjunction with hydraulic rock drills and is widely used in natural stone mining, underground excavation drilling, and tunnel excavation projects. As an intermediate connecting drill rod, the shank rod can provide higher drilling efficiency than conical drills, quarrying drills or integral handheld air drills.
shank adapter: It is a key component that connects the drill head and the drill rod and transmits impact force. Its material selection is very strict, the processing process is cumbersome, and it needs to undergo a high-standard carburizing heat treatment process to meet high technical requirements.
Generally speaking, external threaded shank adapters are more suitable for light excavation, tunnel engineering and heavy excavation, which are often accompanied by high bending stress. Internal threaded shank adapters are more suitable for limited working space and longer feed lengths, such as roof anchoring in underground construction.
We focus on producing shank adapter products that are suitable for imported mainstream rock drills. Each shank adapter is made of high-quality imported alloy steel as raw material. In order to increase the service life of the shank adapter, special equipment is used for processing to ensure that the thread, spline, etc. have high precision and stability. The shank adapter is carburized and quenched as a whole, and scientifically straightened with precision instruments to ensure the straightness and anti-noise of the shank adapter. These shank adapters can adapt to various drilling conditions and meet diverse operational needs.
