Disclosed is a fluid hammer tool with two separate fluid hammers in separate sections of the tool. The tool includes an upper poppet valve assembly along one fluid flow path, and a lower poppet valve assembly along a separate outer flow path. Both fluid flow paths are fed from an upper sub and both exit through a lower sub. Both poppet valves include spring return mechanisms. Sealing of each poppet valve propagates an upstream shock wave. The lower poppet valve assembly encounters greater fluid flow and generates a larger shock wave. In the period when the upper poppet valve is closed, the lower poppet valve cannot open.

A percussion piston for a rock drill machine having a pilot cylinder, a distributor and a pressure medium includes a control edge configurable to cause a change in the position of the distributor in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the percussion piston as the percussion piston moves in the impact direction (A) in relation to the pilot cylinder. The control edge of the percussion piston includes at least one notch provided on the outer periphery of the control edge and arranged to cause a start of a state change for the distributor before the control edge of the percussion piston passes by a corresponding control edge provided on the distributor or pilot cylinder.

The invention concerns a hydraulic striking tool for application in rock and/or concrete cutting equipment containing a machine housing (100;200) with a cylinder (115;215) with a moveably mounted piston (145;245) which during operation performs a repetitive forward and backward movement relative to the machine housing (100;200) and directly or indirectly strike a rock and/or concrete cutting tool (155;255), and where the piston (145;245) includes a driving part (165;265) which separates a first (120;220) and a second (105;221) driving chamber formed between the piston (145;245) and the machine housing (100;200) and where these driving chambers are arranged to include a pressurized working fluid during operation. The total volume V of the first and second driving chambers is inversely proportional dimensioned to the square of a for the striking tool recommended maximal pressure p, as well as proportional, by a proportionality constant k within the interval 5.3-21.0, to the product of the pistons energy E during the strike against the tool and compression module β of the working fluid.

A hydraulic hammer is provided. The hydraulic hammer includes a fluid inlet configured to receive a pressurized fluid for running the hydraulic hammer and a fluid outlet for discharging hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic hammer. A bypass passage fluidly connects the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, the bypass passage has a bypass inlet fluidly connected to the fluid inlet and a bypass outlet fluidly connected to the fluid outlet. An automatic shut-off valve is disposed in the bypass passage between the bypass inlet and the bypass outlet and is configured to open or close the bypass passage. The automatic shut-off valve is configured to open the bypass passage under pressure of the pressurized fluid on continuous running of the hydraulic hammer for a set time to stop the hammer.

A fluid pressure hitting device comprises a piston inserted in a cylinder, a chisel, and a first, second, and third chambers. The chisel is fitted in the cylinder such that a part of the chisel projects from one axial end of the cylinder and is configured to further project from that axial end due to being hit by the piston as the piston slides toward the one axial end. The first through third chambers are partitioned by an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder and an outer peripheral surface of the piston. The first through third chambers are arranged in the axial direction in order fluid the one axial end to another axial end of the cylinder. A flow path is configured to supply fluid from a fluid supply portion when the piston hits the chisel, to the first chamber.

A hydraulic breaking hammer and method of supporting a percussion piston is provided. The breaking hammer includes a percussion device provided with a reciprocating piston. The piston is supported on a frame at its end portions by a first piston bearing element and a second piston bearing element. The second piston bearing element includes a collar sealing element facing towards a working collar of the piston. The piston bearing elements are easily mountable and dismountable separate components.
