Lubrication of DTH hammer
DTH hammer is the important part for the DTH rig and is driven by air. As the piston inside the hammer impact repeatedly with high frequency, it is necessary to lubricate the DTH hammer to extend the hammer’s service life.
Advantage of the using high quality lubricant to hammer:
1.Reduce the friction
Friction between the parts often generates the heat and that makes the parts deformed. Lubricating the hammer is a good way to reduce the friction.
2.Anti-Corrosion
The chemical in the water can corrode the parts of hammer and lubricant can help to solve this problem.
3.Seal
The parts can be sealed by lubricant that contribute to improve the drilling efficiency of the hammer.
