shank adapters for most models of current prevailing rock drill machines. 

All STAROCKDRILL’S shank adapters are carburized, CNC manufactured, and made from premium steel. 

Thus ensure them with superior toughness and anti-fatigue strength to meet the most demanding drilling conditions. 

Moreover, all shanks could be produced with ether male or female threads if there is actually necessary

Male shank adapters are generally better suited for drifting, tunneling and extension applications where high bending stresses are present. 

While female shank adapters are used when the drilling space is limited and the total feed length is important, for example underground roof-bolting.

Shank adapters are used for transmitting power from the rock drill to the drill stems. 

Generally there are male threaded shank adapters and famale threaded shank adapters. 

Male shank adapters are more popular than famale shank adapter. 

Male shank adapter are generally suited for drifting, tunneling and extension applications where high stresses are present. 

Females shank adapters are used when the drilling space is limited.

The shank adaptor is subjected to the impact of the rock drill and the part that applies the torque. It should have high toughness and no plastic deformation properties.
