7. BEAM AND CARRIAGE SLIDE PIECES

7.1. General
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.

7.2. Adjusting slide pieces

The slide pieces normally require no
adjustments when replaced, as the pieces
max. 1.5 mm are located to correct clearances at the
clearance = 0 beam centre line with 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
value with the slotted holes in the carriages.
After adjustment, the screws are tightened
to 120 Nm.

Replacing piston seal

1. Remove the old seal.
2. Install the new seal into its groove by gently stretching it with the aid of e.g. a
screwdriver. Installing can be made easier by warming up the seal in an oven, oil
bath or water (to max. 200˚C).
3. After installing, set the seal into its groove using e.g. a cylinder tube. Lubricate the
seal first.
Replacing piston rod seal

1. Bend the piston rod seal with caution so that no sharp bends are formed. Install
the sealing ring into the correct groove using your fingers and press the seal into
the groove with your fingers.
2. Set the seals into the grooves after installing. An oiled piston rod can be used for
the setting the seals, but do it very carefully as the setting direction is unfavorable
to the seals. The wiper is slipped into its groove.

ADJUSTING ADJUSTING
PRESSURE PRESSURE
Note! 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.
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.

20.1. Adjusting the intermediate and maximum length

When you adjust the TFX 500 feed to intermediate or maximum length, you must adjust
the feed to minimum length first (steps 1 to 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.
4. Feed the rock drill backward until it is facing the rear stopper, and run it against the
rear stopper for approximately 10 seconds.
5. Open the ball valve (2).
6. Run the feed’s inner tube to desired length by running the rock drill against the rear
stopper.
(With lower cylinder )
7. Close the ball valve (2).
8. Feed the rock drill against the rear stopper for about 10 seconds.
10. Open the ball valve (2) fully.
11. Check that the ball valve (1 ) is fully closed and the ball valve (2) is fully open. (Also
see the shield on the next page)
