PLATO supplies shank adaptors for most models of current prevailing rock drill machines. All our shank adaptors 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. Moreover, all shanks could be produced with ether male or female threads if there is actually necessary.

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 roofbolting.

Advantages:

High-quality steel

Plato shank adapters use high-quality alloy structural steel as the raw material, undergoes overall carburizing treatment, and adopt special CNC machine tool processing equipment and processing flow to ensure the processing quality of splines, water holes and other details, which can meet the requirements of drilling harder rock layers and have a longer service life.

Advanced manufacturing technology

Plato shank adapters adopt advanced thread manufacturing technology and advanced surface treatment technology, and are manufactured according to precise tolerances. They have the characteristics of tight connection, good energy transmission effect, strong wear resistance, and easy disassembly. Our shank adapters are uniformly heat-treated and scientifically straightened with precision instruments to ensure straightness and anti-irritability.

Strict quality control

All the top hammer shank adapters produced by Plato shank adapter factory are strictly controlled to ensure that they have satisfactory high quality.

Product Knowledge

Top hammer shank adaptors, the role of which in rock drilling is to directly bear the impact energy and torque of the rock drill, and is used to transfer the energy from drill rig to drill rod. One end of the shank adaptor is connected to drill rig, and another end is connected to drill rod, so that the energy of drill rig can be transmitted to drill bit, and finally achieve the purpose of drilling.

The specification and hardness of top hammer shank adaptor have a great influence on the rock drilling speed and the life of the rock drill. The hardness of the top hammer shank adaptors for drill should be appropriate, the service life is short if the rock drill shank is too soft, the piston is vulnerable to damage if the drill shank adapter is too hard. Plato shank adaptor factory has accurate specifications, smooth surface, suitable hardness, the cross-section is perpendicular to the axis, and closely coincides with rock drill sleeve. 

Plato offers male and female threaded shank adapter, also called striking bar or shank rod, such as T38 shank adapter, T45 shank adapter, T51 shank adaptor, etc. Our China shank adapters are suitable for various brands of rock drills, such as Atlas Copco, Sandvik, Furukawa, Montabert, Ingersoll-Rand, Tamrock, etc., and the rock drill shank adapter (drill shank adaptor) also can be designed according to customer needs.
