Chicago Pneumatic, Commerce City, Colo., has introduced a new line of hydraulic breakers that it says are built to last. The RX line offers an innovative design that uses fewer components while bringing the rugged power needed on the job, according to the company.
With a power-booster feature for maximum performance, the 13 models in the RX line offer higher breaking performance in tougher applications without increasing the hydraulic input, according to a press release issued by the company. While the impact energy remains constant, the breaker increases the blow frequency, which the company says results in increased percussive performance. The power stop function reduces blank firing, protecting the breaker and carrier and increasing the working life of the components, the company adds.
The design of the RX line of breakers helps decrease downtime on the job site, Chicago Pneumatic says. With the exception of the RX11, the RX2 to RX22 models have fewer components, only two moving parts and no side bolts for easier service, maintenance and repairs, according to the company.
The larger models in the RX line, RX25 to RX53, feature a power control valve to increase productivity. This enables the operator to set the breaker characteristics according to the application for higher productivity. The RX25-RX53 models also feature a side bolt system that uses head bolts and insert threads to distribute the thread strain equally.
Additional standard features on the RX hydraulic breaker line include hybrid technology, noise and vibration damping and a highly efficient internal control valve, the company states.
