Pneumatic Pusher Leg for Mining & Rock Drilling

The Pneumatic Pusher Leg, also known as a Jack Leg, is a compressed-air-operated support component used with compatible handheld rock drilling machines. It provides feed force and supports drill positioning during drilling operations in mining, quarrying and tunnelling applications.

The DRILLMAN DM 051 is intended for drilling arrangements where controlled forward movement and suitable equipment support are required.

How Does a Jack Leg Work?

A jack leg operates using compressed air to extend its supporting mechanism and apply thrust to the connected rock drill.

During operation, the leg supports the drilling machine while the operator controls its positioning and feed. The arrangement allows the drill to advance as the drilling tool penetrates the rock.

The suitability of the equipment depends on the rock drill model, working position, compressed-air supply and operating conditions.

These dimensions should be considered when evaluating the equipment for a particular drilling arrangement.

Selecting the Right Drilling Support

Before selecting a jack leg, buyers should review the compatibility of the support mechanism with their existing rock drilling machine.

Important considerations include the available compressed-air supply, the required working position, the dimensions of the equipment and the type of drilling operation.

The supporting component should also be evaluated alongside the rock drill and the drilling consumables used in the complete setup.
