H115 S, H120C S, H130 S, H140D S,
H160D S, H180D S

Features & Benefits:

Sealed Housing
n Powercell protected, fully enclosed in housing. Bottom
of housing is closed and sealed while the covers prevent
material intrusion on the top.

Automatic Shut-Off (ASO)

n Prevents blank firing of the piston. Reliability and durability
are increased as high stress levels internal to the hammer
are reduced. Available only in D-series models.

Hammer & Carrier Protection

n The effective suspension system, including buffer and side
pads, not only protects the hammer but also the carrier from
recoil forces.

High Pressure Accumulator

n High pressure hydraulic accumulator is field serviceable
and protects both the hammer circuit and carrier pump from
hydraulic pressure spikes.

Sound Suppression
n All large hammer models are delivered in sound suppressed
version. This results in greater operator comfort and
environment protection.

Special Applications
n Built-in lubrication port and air port make it easy to convert
the hammer to automatic greasing and underwater use.

Slip Fit Rotatable Lower Tool Bushing

n The slip fit lower bushing can be rotated once in the field
without the need for special tools. This doubles its life and
reduces owning and operating costs.

Screw Adjust Pressure Control Valve

n The screw adjust feature allows the adjustment of the
pressure control valve without having to remove it from the
hammer power cell. This simplifies the adjusting process
and eliminates oil spillage. Available only in D-series models.

1.

Shock Absorbers Provide maximum shock and recoil protection for both hammer and carrier.

2.

Accumulator Self-contained diaphragm accumulator designed for long life. The accumulator access
is on the side of the hammer. This side access allows for recharging the accumulator while the hammer
is mounted on the machine.

3.

Housing Symmetrical lean enclosed housing no parts to break through external shock.

4.

Hydraulic Valves The Pressure Control Valve maintains maximum hydraulic pressure to ensure that the
hammer delivers all blows at full power. A check valve isolates harmful pulsation spikes from the carrier
hydraulic circuit.

5.

Auto-Lube Connection and Grease Channel Provides grease to the upper and lower tool bushings to
ensure proper greasing. Proper greasing provides longer life for the bushings and the tool.

6.

Auto Shut Off (ASO) Prevents blank firing and extends hammer life by reducing internal stress and
heat (available on D series models only).

7.

Seal Carrier Contains special high performance seals to extend leak-proof operation.

8.

Hydraulic Brake Dampens idle strokes and prevents steel to steel contact between piston and cylinder.

9.

Piston Long piston transfers a long shock wave into the rock. Tool-piston diameters are matched
for maximum energy transfer.

11

11. Cylinder Low recoil stress.

12

12. Full Length Wear Plates Long high abrasion resilient plastic wear plates with visual wear indicators which

provides lower bearing pressure between hammer and housing reducing noise and increasing service life

(available on D series models only).
13. Upper Tool Bushing Guides the tool to optimize in-line piston to tool contact.

13

14. Tool Retaining Pins Allow quick and easy tool maintenance.

14

15. Upper and Lower Wear Plates High abrasion resilient plastic wear plates between hammer and housing

reduce noise and guide hammer assembly properly.
16. Rock Claw Special high abrasion resistant rock claw, enables quick positioning of boulders,
gives maximum wear life.

17. Lower Tool Bushing Easily replaceable during normal maintenance. Grooves are added on the
inside bottom portion of the tool bushing for visual wear limits indicating time to rotate or replace.
18. Dust Seals One Dust Seal helps prevent foreign material from entering the housing. This helps to reduce wear
on the front head and wear plates. The second Dust Seal prevents foreign material from entering the grease between
the lower tool bushing and the tool. This reduces the wear on the lower tool bushing and tool.

19. Tool Specially heat-treated tools match piston diameter and mass, to deliver full blow energy.
