They are also known as Shank Adaptor or Shank Adopter.
Shank adapters are important components in top hammer drilling systems, providing the connection between the drilling machine and the drill string. In mining, quarrying and tunnelling applications, they transmit percussion energy and rotational torque from the drifter to the drill rods and drilling tools.
DRILLMAN shank adapters are manufactured using high-quality alloy steel and heat treatment processes for use in demanding rock drilling conditions. They are designed for applications where durability, dimensional accuracy and reliable energy transfer are important for consistent drilling operations.
During top hammer drilling, the shank adapter transfers impact energy and rotational torque from the drifter into the drill string. A properly matched shank adapter helps maintain efficient energy transmission between the drilling machine and the connected drilling tools.
Shank adapters work as part of a complete drilling system together with extension rods and threaded button bits. Correct selection of the components is therefore important for reliable drilling performance.
DRILLMAN supplies shank adapters designed for Top Hammers and Drill Rigs from several established equipment manufacturers. The available compatibility range includes specified models from Atlas Copco, Sandvik, Ingersoll Rand and Furukawa, as listed in the product compatibility table above.
Because different drilling machines use different connections and configurations, the shank adapter should be selected according to the specific drill or drifter model being used.
Shank adapters are used in demanding rock drilling applications, including:
They form an important part of the drill string in operations using top hammer drilling equipment.
For top hammer drilling applications, shank adapters are used together with other drilling components such as extension rods and threaded button bits. These components work together to transfer drilling energy from the machine to the rock.
