ANVIL

ANVIL 3115 2578 01 Positioned inside the drifter's front head, the anvil receives the full force of every piston strike. It then transmits this powerful shockwave into the drill steel, driving the bit into the rock. The precise fit and material hardness are essential for converting hydraulic power into effective drilling performance without energy loss.

Over time, the intense, repetitive impacts can cause the anvil's striking face to wear or develop micro-fractures. A worn anvil will not only slow down your penetration rate but can also damage the shank adapter. If it fails completely, metal fragments can cause severe internal damage to the drifter, leading to costly repairs and extended downtime.

Listen for a change in the drifter's sound or a drop in drilling power, as these can indicate a worn anvil. During routine maintenance, inspect the anvil's striking face for any signs of mushrooming, chipping, or cracks. Always replace it if significant wear is visible to protect the drifter and maintain productivity.
