  • Publication number: 20150343626
    Abstract: A hammer tool assembly for a machine is provided. The hammer tool assembly includes a power cell, a tool, and a frame assembly. The frame assembly includes a first side plate and a second side plate. A set of paired blocks are coupled to an inner wall of the first and second side plates respectively. Each of the set of paired blocks includes a plurality of holes configured to receive dowel pins therein. A plurality of mechanical fasteners received through a plurality of openings at any one of the first and second side plates. The plurality of openings of each of the first and second side plates is coaxially aligned with corresponding holes in each of the set of paired blocks respectively. A plurality of mechanical fasteners passes through the aligned holes and extends through the plurality of openings provided at the other of the second and first side plates.

  • Publication number: 20140332246
    Abstract: A damper system for a power cell includes a single-piece top damper element disposed on the power cell, a pair of middle damper elements disposed about a mid-portion of the power cell, and a single-piece bottom damper element that is formed from a material having Shore hardness in the range of about 90 A to 95 A. The middle damper elements are mutually identical in construction, and include interlocking features that are configured to allow a releasable engagement therebetween. The bottom damper element defines a central opening therein, and includes a base plate disposed about the central opening. The bottom damper element further includes appendages extending axially from a top side of the base plate, and a lateral projection extending radially inward from each of the appendages. The lateral projection is configured to abut a top side of a keel member defined at a bottom portion of the power cell.

  • Publication number: 20140332244
    Abstract: An enclosure for a power cell of a hydraulic hammer includes a single-piece hollow elongated body, a resilient cover, and multiple deformable plugs. The body includes a top flange, and an integrally formed polyhedral mid-portion. The mid-portion includes multiple sidewalls, and an end wall that is integral with a bottom end of the sidewalls. The sidewalls define a first sealing aperture, a second sealing aperture, and a pair of arcuate openings thereon. The resilient cover includes laterally disposed first and second portions that are configured to releasably engage with the body to cover a top portion and a bottom portion of the arcuate opening respectively. The deformable plugs are releasably engaged with the body at the first and second sealing apertures. The plugs include resilient members that co-operate with interfitting features located adjacent to the first and second sealing apertures of the body.
