Shank adapter

All shank adapters 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 bolting.

The task of the shank adapter is to transmit rotation torque, feed force, impact energy and flushing medium to the drill rods and drill bits.

The shank adapters are there for designed to with stand the high impact power of modern rock drills and made from specially selected material which also is hardened through cauterizing and ensure that the shank is sufficiently resilient.
