The HP-accumulator compensates pressure
variations in the hydraulic system.
The percussion piston moves up and down in the
cylinder. When the percussion piston is in its lower
position, it impacts the working tool. The percussion
energy is transferred to the material to be broken via
the working tool.
A.The hydraulic breaker is connected to the
carrier by the adapter plate. The adapter plate
is not included in the scope of supply of the
