2 DESCRIPTION
2/1 EXPLANATION
NVF DRILL FEED is a multi-purpose hydraulic feed which is able to match 3 different rod length.
The drill feed can be fitted with an hydraulic rod-clamp and is featured with an extension system;
so it is possible to combine several configurations (See Figure 2).
Therefore the NVF DRILL FEED is used in face development drilling, long hole drilling, and
bolting.
The NVF DRILL FEED is compatible with different types of rock drill.

2/3 MAIN COMPONENTS

NVF DRILL FEED consist in a beam structure 1 on which an hydraulic cylinder 2, a drilling cradle
3 and two pulley cradles 4 are attached. Pulley cradles are bolted on the cylinder’s body and
translate on guiding rails 5.
The cylinder’s rod is bolted on the beam’s rear plate and does not translate. The cylinder’s body
translates coupled with pulley cradles. A cable + pulley system doubles drilling cradle translation
value.
The cylinder motion value is only one half the drilling cradle motion value; therefore the real
drilling force is divided by two.
Percussion is stopped and hydraulic pressure by-passed by an automatic stop valve 7 when front
cradle is fully forward.
A centralizer or a rod clamp 6 are available to guide rods while drilling.

8/4 ROCK DRILL FASTENING INSPECTION
The drill and the water injection head are linked together on the cradle. These sub-assemblies
form a single working unit during drilling operations.
During operation, this unit absorbs a high amount of vibration and all the rebound energy from
the drill bit through the rods. Therefore, it is extremely important to maintain these three
sub-assemblies properly fastened to restrain destructive vibrations and their
consequences. A good preventive maintenance avoids high breakdown rate.
Pay special attention to these following parts:
• KEY WAY
The key way bears 90% of the thrust
plastic strip
force from the drifter. It will wear
PERCUSSION’S BODY
under thrust and vibrations.
The maximum wear allowed is 0.5 mm MAXI
0.5mm.
This wear is measured behind the
key way when the drifter is installed CRADLE
0,5mm
on the cradle.

Tel : (33) 472 45 22 00 Fax : (33) 478 31 79 80
• BRIDGE
The bridge must be tightened symmetrically left and right; there should be the same gap value
between the bridge and the cradle on the right side and left side.
When the oval strip is new, the gap is 0.5mm after tightening the 2 screws at the recommended
torque: 200 Nm.
When the gap between bridge and cradle is insignificant, the strip must be changed.

• PLASTIC RING
- 039 1117 (for HYDRASTAR 200)
- 039 1186 (for HYDRASTAR 300 and 350.)
This ring plays the most important role in the liaison drifter/flushing head/cradle.
When the flushing head and the drifter are mounted on the cradle, the ring shoulders the drifter
on the key way and avoids micro-displacements of the drifter body.
As a result, the erosion is considerably reduced.
When it is in operating conditions, the ring is compressed inside the holes made in the drifter
front nut P/N 036 1513 and prevents it to get loose.
It acts as a shock absorber during drilling and prevents wear of the internal parts of the flushing
head.
It seals and prevents the lubricated air to escape; therefore it allow 100% of the air to be
led through the injection head up to the front, allowing an optimum lubrication of the
shank and the water seals.
Without this lubrication the lifetime of the shank and the water seals is greatly reduced.
• CONICAL WASHERS
These two conical washers act as a spring and play an active role in the lifetime of the two
screws fastening the water flushing head.
They must be replaced by GENUINE TAMROCK SECOMA washers.
During free hammering operation (which in any case should be avoided), these 2 screws holding
the flushing head are under heavy stress and the washers act as shocks absorber.
Check tightening weekly. Standard torque 500 Nm.

SYSTEMATIC PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY CONTROL
• AXIAL PLAY OF THE SHANK.
HYDRASTAR 200 and 300: - MAXIMUM 17 mm
HYDRASTAR 350: - MAXIMUM 22 mm
Above these values, replace shank and/or striker plate.
• TIGHTENING TORQUE OF BRIDGE’S SCREWS 200 Nm.
If gap between bridge and drifter cradle is reduced to 0 mm after application of torque, change
the plastic strip.
• CHECK THAT LUBRICATED AIR EXPELS AT FRONT OF FLUSHING HEAD
and not between flushing head and drifter. If it does, replace ring 039 1117 (Hyd; 200) or 039
1186 (Hyd. 300 and 350).
• FLUSHING HEAD.
Check water seals and turn the water cartridge 1/2 turn weekly.
Change the water seal cartridge if radial play of the shank is more than 2 mm.
• CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE BRONZE DRIVER.
Turn the shank with hands, If there is more than 4 mm of free rotation (measured on the
circumference of the shank), replace the bronze driver.
• CHECK FLUSHING HEAD MOUNTING BOLTS
Torque the flushing head mounting bolts at 500 Nm.
• CHECK the GAP BETWEEN KEY WAY AND DRIFTER
Control the gap between key way and percussion body. MAXIMUM: 0.5 mm

8/5 SKIDS AND RAIL VERIFICATION

• Check the rail’s wear limit: thickness should not be
above 2mm. A gap
• Slightly lift the drill cradle

• Gauge the average clearance (A gap) between rail
and skid.
• Check rail’s thickness (T Thick.) and estimate its real
wear:
Rail’s wear: B= T - 4mm
(origin rail’s thickness = 4mm)
Skid’s wear: W= A - B
Wear (W) value should not be over 4mm
W<4mm Figure 12
8/6 CABLE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING
• Move drill/cradle assembly to full

backward position (back stop device
released).
CAUTION: Do not withdraw up to
material stop, the bit should be as
close as possible from the
1
centralizer but not in contact.
• Cradle position adjustment.
Tighten or loosen cables with screws
1 and 2 and centralize cradle’s
position.
• cables’ tension.

Put a wooden block in front of the
feed and move the cradle forward to
this block. Keep hydraulic pressure in the cylinder (in order to strain the front cable) and adjust
rear cable’s tension with no play but not over-stress.
• NOTE: While screwing, stop the rotation of the cables to avoid their twisting.
