Overview of Shank Adaptors Product Catalogue

This document provides a structured catalogue of shank adaptors used in drilling and mining equipment, referencing major manufacturers such as Atlas Copco, Furukawa, Ingersoll Rand, and Sandvik/Tamrock.

1. Product Classification and Information Guides

The catalogue includes detailed classification guides and product codes to assist in identifying and selecting appropriate shank adaptors. These guides cover:

• Manufacturer identification (Atlas Copco, Furukawa, Ingersoll Rand, Sandvik/Tamrock)
• Product code structure, including thread form, diameter, length, and spline count

Example product code components:

• Thread Form: R32, R38, T38, T45, etc.
• Diameter: 32 mm, 38 mm, 45 mm, 55 mm, etc.
• Length: 380 mm, 480 mm, 550 mm, etc.
• Spline Count: 2, 4, 6, 8, etc.

2. Shank Adaptors by Number of Shanks

The catalogue is organized by the number of shanks per adaptor, ranging from 2-shank to 18-shank adaptors. Each section presumably details specifications and options available for each configuration, facilitating selection based on drilling requirements.

3. Manufacturer-Specific Details

Each manufacturer’s adaptors are referenced with their specific codes and standards, ensuring compatibility and performance consistency. The document highlights the importance of matching thread forms and spline counts to the equipment used.

Key Points and Recommendations

• Use the product code guide to accurately identify adaptor specifications.
• Ensure compatibility of thread form and spline count with drilling equipment.
• Select the number of shanks based on operational needs and equipment design.
• Refer to manufacturer-specific standards for optimal performance and safety.

This structured approach aids in efficient selection and classification of shank adaptors across multiple manufacturers and configurations.
