What Is an R32 Drifter Drill Rod?

An R32 Drifter Drill Rod is a type of rock drill rod used in top-hammer drilling systems. It features an R32 thread (round 32mm), which is known for its excellent fatigue resistance and secure connection under dynamic loads. These rods are typically used in underground drifting, tunneling, face drilling, and bolting applications, especially where precision and strength are critical.

Unlike conventional rods, the R32 Drifter Drill Rod is manufactured from high-tensile alloy steel and heat-treated for superior performance, ensuring both torque transmission and impact absorption.

Core Features of R32 Drifter Drill Rod

✅ High-Tensile Alloy Steel Construction

Each R32 Drifter Drill Rod is made from specially formulated alloy steel, heat-treated to enhance hardness and fatigue resistance. This allows it to endure high-frequency percussive drilling without distortion.

✅ Precision R32 Thread Profile

The R32 thread ensures tight, reliable coupling between rods and shanks. This thread type is widely recognized for its ability to handle high-torque and impact energy with minimal risk of thread stripping.

✅ Extended Service Life

With exceptional resistance to wear, bending, and breakage, the R32 Drifter Drill Rod delivers long-term performance even in highly abrasive rock formations.

✅ Optimized for Top-Hammer Systems

Designed for use with high-frequency rock drills, this rod ensures efficient energy transmission from drifter to drill bit, improving penetration rates and hole straightness.
