Abstract
A hydraulically powered impact device for rock drilling having an impact piston driven by a hydraulic drive unit and a shank rod adapted to be struck by the impact piston. A motor imparts a rotary motion to the shank rod by rotating a sleeve through a gear train. The sleeve is rotatably mounted around the shank rod. A chuck is splined to the shank rod and a dog clutch is provided between the sleeve and the chuck for engaging both. A fluid passage is formed for introducing lubricant fluid stored in a gear casing into a chamber accommodating the dog clutch. The fluid passages includes a valve which is held open as long as the cover is connected to the main casing.
