Proper Usage Guidelines for Gaea Rock Shank Adapters
Gaea Rock is committed to providing top-quality shank adapters to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of rock drills in the drilling industry. To maximize the performance and lifespan of our shank adapters, it is crucial to adhere to the following usage guidelines:
Selection of Qualified Shank Adapters:
Ensure the shank adapter is compatible with the rock drill's dimensions and that the threads of the shank adapter align well with the connection sleeve. The proper fit between the shank adapter and the rock drill is vital for optimal performance and preventing premature wear or failure.
Optimal Rock Drill Operating Parameters:
For rock drills with adjustable parameters (impact pressure, impact power, impact frequency, thrust, and rotation speed), it is important to match the appropriate shank adapter size with the corresponding impact power. Using a large shank adapter with low impact power or vice versa can lead to early failure of both the shank adapter and the associated drilling tools.
Regular Inspections:
Before each shift or at regular intervals, a dedicated inspection of the shank adapter should be conducted. Look for signs of damage, such as cracks, severe thread wear, or "fish-tailing" (a condition where the end of the shank adapter is flared out or deformed). If any of these issues are detected, the shank adapter should be replaced immediately to avoid further damage or safety
