The Rotojec Shank – Heavy Duty is a type of specialized shank used in various industrial applications, particularly in situations requiring strong mechanical support and durability. The Rotojec Shank – Heavy Duty is used because of its ability to handle high loads and provide a secure connection point for various attachments or machinery components. Its robust design makes it suitable for operations that involve significant mechanical stress, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.
- Design: The shank has an outer diameter (OD) of 4 inches, offering a robust structural component to handle high loads. The body of the shank has a larger OD of 5-3/4 inches, providing additional stability and surface area for connecting or anchoring parts. They are designed with threaded connections or specialized mounting surfaces to allow easy attachment to other components or machinery.
- Applications:
- Agricultural Equipment: Tillage & Cultivation: Used in heavy-duty farming equipment like plows, harrows, and cultivators, where the shank needs to absorb high mechanical stress. Seeding & Fertilizing: The shank provides the structural support for seeders or fertilizer applicators, ensuring they can penetrate soil at a consistent depth.
- Mining & Construction: Drilling & Blasting: In mining or construction, these shanks can be used in drilling rigs, offering strength to withstand impact forces when penetrating hard rock. Excavation Equipment: In excavation machinery, they help with anchoring or stabilizing digging tools or cutters.
- Heavy Machinery & Hydraulic Systems: Forklifts & Cranes: Used in lifting or anchoring applications in industrial cranes or forklifts. Hydraulic Equipment: In some hydraulic systems, the shank serves as a connector between various hydraulic components.
