Sandvik’s RP550 Shock Absorber reduces shock and vibration, saving the drill rig’s rotary head to enhance performance and provide a much smoother drilling operation. Its innovative design makes it maintenance free and new safety coupling makes handling much safer than with other shock absorbers.
Features
-
Increased safety
The shock absorber features safety couplings for locking connections, a full seal with no maintenance required to reduce time spent on the work deck and a floating cushion to dampen vibration and allow easy uncoupling. Cleaner operator windows lower the risk of damage or injury. The shock absorber also requires fewer changes, reducing the need for manual handling.
-
Productivity and longevity
This shock absorber provides smoother drilling with reduced shock and vibration. It monitors vibration to ensure a longer service life.
-
Economical drilling
The new, improved design provides lower cost per meter, reduced maintenance costs, improved overall drilling economy and extended tool life for the rotary head, drill string and bits.
