DTH Shock Absorbers for Superior Drill String Protection
Heavy-Duty Shock Absorbers for Down-the-Hole Drilling Applications
Looking for a reliable way to reduce vibration, minimize wear, and protect your drilling investment? Drill King’s DTH Shock Absorbers are engineered to meet the toughest demands of DTH air and water drilling. With sizes ranging from 3” to 18” (85mm to 406mm OD’s), our high-performance shock absorbers help increase equipment lifespan, reduce maintenance intervals, and ensure smoother, more accurate drilling.
What Are DTH Shock Absorbers?
DTH (Down-the-Hole) Shock Absorbers are precision-engineered components installed directly above the DTH hammer. Their purpose is to absorb and dissipate impact energy and harmful vibrations before they travel up the drill string. This protects critical components such as the rotation head, drill rods, and joints, leading to improved drilling efficiency and significantly lower downtime.
Why Choose Drill King’s DTH Shock Absorbers?
At Drill King International, we’ve designed our shock absorbers with durability and performance in mind, helping you extend the life of your drill string and get the most out of your operation.
- Optimized for Both Air & Water DTH Drilling: Engineered to perform in all drilling environments—whether you're operating in dry conditions or using water as your medium.
- Robust Construction: Made from the toughest U.S. mill-certified steel, our shock absorbers are built to withstand high-impact environments and extreme rock conditions.
- Heavy-Duty Internal Components: Our absorbers feature increased internal wear splines, improving torsional force balance and enhancing torque resistance for better overall performance.
- Reduces Vibration and Wear: Minimizes shock transfer to the rig and surrounding components, reducing maintenance frequency and ensuring longer service intervals.
