Montabert Technology SHOCK WAVE TRANSFER EFFICIENCY

Depends on:
– Piston dimension which has to be related to shank
and tool dimension
– Trapezoidal shock wave shape: due to the piston
shape, it provides an increasing stress level during
impact.
• NOTE:
Good efficiency of the energy transfer provides
a reduction of noise level and less vibration
in the tooling
 ECM 660III / HC 160 Service Training

Montabert Technology INCREASED TOOL LIFE SPAN

• TRAPEZOIDAL SHOCK WAVE:

The trapezoidal shape is the one which gives the best results for passing
through the couplings
With other shapes (i.e. rectangular) important loss of energy generates heat and
tooling fatigue.

• SPLIT PISTON
– Allows a long piston without alignment problems
(seizing)

Montabert Technology EFFICIENCY = ENERGY RECOVERY

• Rebound energy is recovered, oil is re-injected in the
accumulators and added for the next blow
• Direct energy recovery up to the 3th rod (36ft/11m) at
approximately 4m/s. Recovery Valve
• BIG ACCUMULATORS
