How to Identify Rock Drill Spare Parts: A Practical Guide

Ordering the wrong spare part is a frustrating and costly mistake. This guide explains how to correctly identify the parts you need for your rock drill.

Find the Serial Number

The serial number is the most important piece of information for part identification. It is typically stamped on a nameplate on the drill body. The serial number identifies the exact production specification of your drill.

Use the Service Manual

The service manual contains exploded diagrams and part number lists for every component. If you don't have the manual, contact the manufacturer or a specialist supplier like Nova Rock Drill — we can often provide the relevant documentation.

Part Number Format

Each manufacturer uses a specific part number format. Epiroc/Atlas Copco uses 8-digit numbers, Sandvik uses alphanumeric codes, and Furukawa uses a combination of letters and numbers. Always use the exact part number when ordering.

Cross-Reference

Some parts are interchangeable between models or brands. Our technical team maintains cross-reference databases that can identify compatible alternatives when the original part is unavailable or discontinued.

Send Photos

If you cannot identify a part from documentation, send us clear photos of the part and its location in the drill. Our technical team can usually identify parts from photos and provide the correct part number.
