Full Technical Description

322 552 48C PLATE, ADJUSTING An PLATE, ADJUSTING functions as a precision shim, typically located between the rock drill cradle and the feed beam. Its purpose is to establish the correct clearance and alignment, ensuring the drifter moves perfectly straight during the feed cycle. This precise positioning is fundamental for preventing the drill string from bending and for transferring impact energy efficiently into the rock.

Improper alignment from a missing or incorrect plate can lead to significant operational problems. For example, a misaligned drifter will cause uneven wear on its slide bars and the feed beam, leading to costly repairs. It also results in crooked holes, excessive wear on drill bits, and can cause the drill string to get stuck, reducing overall productivity.

When servicing the drifter or feed assembly, always inspect these plates for damage, corrosion, or deformation. Ensure the correct number and thickness of plates are reinstalled according to the service manual to achieve proper alignment. Substituting with generic shims can compromise the setup and lead to future failures.
