1. GENERAL ID: 24517
The TF 500 cylinder feed is designed for use with the HLX 5 rock drills.
The design of the feed aims at simplicity of structure and ease of maintenance. The main components
and the operating principle of the cylinder feed are described later.
These instructions also include a description of the most common maintenance tasks.
SANDVIK service department is always willing to give advice and help in any service-related
problems. The trained service personnel of your Sandvik dealer use the proper tools and modern
instruments, and the required original Sandvik spare parts.

2. SAFETY ID: 24518
Before starting maintenance work, move the rig away from the
site where you have just been drilling.
Perform maintenance and repair work only when the rig is

stopped. Remember to make sure that the rig cannot be
accidentally started during repair.
Follow all safety instructions, and always protect yourself with

the necessary safety devices. Use proper tools.
Keep all inflammablematerial, such as oily rags, etc., at a

required distance from the working position.
Do not work under devices that are supported by hydraulics

only. Use separate supports during maintenance and repairs.
Watch out for rotating parts.
WARNING
Control the condition of hoses regularly, and check that they
run properly in the guides. Remember that a hose breakage can
also cause personal injury. When checking the hydraulic circuit
for leaks, look and listen, do not feel about with hands – high--
pressure oil sprays can penetrate the skin and cause serious
injuries.
Certain work phases require the use of a feed cylinder during

repair. Make sure that it does not cause any danger, the rig can
be stopped if necessary and that the powerpack is stopped
again before continuing the repair work.

6. OPERATING PRINCIPLE ID: 24522
The feed is constructed so that the cylinder tube (1) is a moving part, and the piston rod (2) is fixed
to the rear end of the feed beam. The intermediate centraliser (3) and the hose reel (4) are fixed to
the cylinder tube (1), and move along with the cylinder tube. The travel speed of the rock drill (5) is
doubled with a system of wire ropes (6 and 7) and return wheels (8 and 9) fixed to the intermediate
centraliser and the hose reel.

7. BEAM AND CARRIAGE SLIDE PIECES ID: 24788
The beam of the TF 500 is made of an aluminum profile with the sliding surfaces faced with stainless
steel strips.
The carriers of the rock drill, hose reel, and intermediate centraliser move along the feed beam on
similar slide pieces. Each slide piece is fastened to the carrier with three screws and nuts through
the frame strip. The screws lock the slide piece lengthwise. The form of the slide pieces and their
supports function as lateral locking.

7.1. Adjusting the slide pieces ID: 24792
The slide pieces normally require no adjustments

when replaced, as the pieces are located to A
correct clearances at the beam centre line with B
the aid of locating shoulders on the carriers and
the frame strips.
If the slide pieces are so worn that the clearance
is more than 3 mm, the clearance can be adjusted
to the specified valuewith the slotted holes in the
carriages. After adjustment, the screws are
tightened to 120 Nm.
A = max. 1,5mm
B = 0 (clearance)

7.2. Replacing steel strip on beam ID: 24525
It is recommended that you remove the wear pieces of the rock

drill, hose reel and centraliser to make the change easier.
1. Open the four front centraliser mounting screws (2). Remove the front centraliser body (1) from
the front end of the beam.
2. Remove all slide pieces (3) and their frames (6) from one side of the cylinder feed.
3. Remove the mounting pieces (4). Remove the old steel strip. Wash the rail.
4. Slide the new steel strip (5) on the feed and put it in place by turning the steel strip. Use silicone
for sealing as described by lubrication symbols in the .
5. Push the steel strip (5) against the rear end, and cut the steel strip to length.
6. Use mounting pieces (4) to tighten the steel strip (5).
7. Replace the slide pieces (3).
8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 to the other side of the cylinder feed.
9. Mount the front centraliser body to the beam. Tighten the screws (2) to 300 Nm.

8.2. Replacing seals ID: 24528
The feed cylinder has the following seals:

• Piston seal
• Piston rod seal
• Guiding rings
• Wiper
• Cylinder cover O-ring
We recommend replacement of the seals in conjunction with every second overhaul of the rock drill
(c. 1000 percussion hours).
• Check that the tools you need for the replacement work are clean. Also clean the cylinder parts
before installing seals.
• Lubricate the components before installing them.
Before replacement of seals, the cylinder must be removed from the feed as follows:
1. Disconnect the feed cylinder hoses and plug them.
2. Disconnect the pull and return wires from the rock drill carriage.
3. Disconnect the rock drill carriage from the feed beam, and lift the carriage out.
4. Disconnect the intermediate centraliser carriage from the return wheel bracket.
5. Disconnect the hose reel carriage from the feed beam.
6. Disconnect the hose reel carriage from the cylinder tube.
7. Lift the feed cylinder out.

16.5. Adjusting the length of the feed ID: 24550
ID: 25162
With the TFX 500 feed you must use approx. 15 bar (TFX 550, 50
bar) higher feed pressure than with TF feed, because of the
pressure relief valve mounted into the line of upper feed
cylinder B port.
For example, if you normally use 90 bar feed pressure with the TF feed, you have to set the feed
pressure up to 105 bar (TFX 550, 140 bar) with the telescopic feed by using the feed pressure
adjusting valve.
The feed pressure can also be adjusted during drilling. The adjustment is correct, when the beam
and rock drill move simultaneously (not with the same speed). The feed pressure is adjusted 0.5 times
higher than the value of the adjusted valve compared to the TF feed.

ID: 214 2 en 2009-09-28
16.5.1. Adjusting the intermediate and maximum length ID: 24551

minimum length first (follow steps 1-4).
There is no middle position setting for the model TFX 550.
1. Open the ball valves (1) and (2) fully.

2. Feed the rock drill forward until the whole system has the shortest position (minimum length).
3. Close the ball valve (2) fully.
