In the world of heavy-duty rock drilling, names like Furukawa, Atlas Copco, and Sandvik stand tall as leaders in engineering and performance. These brands produce highly specialized machines that operate in the most challenging conditions—from deep mining operations to high-altitude drilling rigs. Their reputation for durability is well-earned, but this durability only holds true when machines are maintained using the right spare parts.
At DLC Mining Store, we know that every rock drill machine is an investment. Protecting that investment means avoiding shortcuts, especially when it comes to parts. Using OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or OEM-compatible parts is one of the most important decisions a fleet manager or site supervisor can make.
✅ Why OEM Spare Parts Are Critical
OEM parts are specifically manufactured for the original machine model. They are tested under identical stress conditions and deliver consistent performance.
Key reasons to choose OEM parts:
✔️ Perfect mechanical and dimensional fit
✔️ Minimized vibration and wear
✔️ Enhanced drilling precision
✔️ Full compatibility with hydraulic and pneumatic systems
✔️ Compliance with manufacturer specifications
When parts are not properly matched to a machine, energy loss and misalignment lead to premature failure of other components.
🔩 Parts That Keep These Machines Running
🟠 Furukawa
Furukawa’s robust rock drills demand components that can handle continuous high-frequency impacts.
Typical needs include:
Shank adapters with shock absorption properties
Impact-grade pistons
Coupling sleeves designed for secure torque transfer
High-durability seal kits for pneumatic chambers
🔵 Atlas Copco
Atlas Copco drills rely heavily on precise hydraulic systems. Parts must align with sensitive internal tolerances.
Frequently replaced components include:
Hydraulic seals
Adapter sleeves
Thread-compatible drill bits
Feed system bushings
🔴 Sandvik
Sandvik’s top hammer drills feature advanced feed and rotation units. Even small inaccuracies in part size or shape can lead to rapid wear.
Common needs include:
Button bits for high-resistance drilling
Piston and seal combinations
Rotation shafts and drive sleeves
Wear plates and feed rails
⚠️ The Real Cost of Non-Genuine Parts
While non-OEM parts might seem like a cost-saving measure, they often cause increased breakdowns, lower machine efficiency, and inconsistent performance.
Consequences include:
❌ Misalignment between connected components
❌ Higher operational noise and stress
❌ Lost drilling time
❌ Reduced fuel efficiency
❌ Voided warranties
In extreme cases, low-quality parts can even cause damage to machine frames or systems like the hammer mechanism or feed cylinder—leading to complete shutdowns.
