CAUTION : The case drain port must not be connected to a return filter system. Any back pressure

port P: oil supply
port R: main return

NOTE : DUE TO THE PRESSURE INVOLVED IN THE H.P. PERCUSSION CIRCUIT, SECOMA
RECOMMENDS THE USE OF 4 SPIRAL HOSES, SAE 100 R9 TYPE. SIMILAR HOSES SHOULD BE
INSTALLED ON THE DRILL FEED, AS THESE HOSES ARE TENSIONNED AROUND THE HOSE
REEL.
MAJOR ASSEMBLIES
The HYDRASTAR drifter consists of two independant assemblies : the rotation assy and the
percussion assy.
Rotation assembly
The rotation assy includes an hydraulic motor which is directly coupled to a mechanical reducer
consisting of 2 rearing mounted pinions.
The assembly is lubricated by means of hydraulic fluid ; tightness of assy is assured owing to lipseals.
Percussion assembly
The percussion assy consists of :
a percussion body a piston a rear flange a high pressure accumulator an hydraulic directional control
valve a spring accumulator on the return circuit.
1-2 Storage
The drifter should be thoroughly blown out to eliminate any dampness by means of compressed air,
outside, inside and the A port of the lubricated air supply circuit.
Dry compressed air should be used for blowing out via a water separator.
Storage procedure :
Lubricate the drifter by spraying storage oil or hydraulic oil on all external parts of the drifter as well as
through the A port of the lubricated air supply.
Plug the front cap.
Ensure that the rotation and percussion assemblies are filled with clean hydraulic oil : that is free of
impurities or water.
Place metallic caps over all feeder connections, and ensure that they are thoroughly tightened.
Wrap the drifter in a plastic film so as to protect it against dust and dirt.
Store the drifter in a dry and clean area.

- the assy screws the thread of the front flange and the rotation body
- the thread of the return accumulator : cover, body, rear flange inside the threads as described in para. 2-4-6 as
well as threads of the high pressure accumulator.Use a tap M12-125 (screw-type).
CAUTION : If loctite residue is left at the bottom of a hole and is not cleaned out, then the correct
contact between parts cannot be acheived during assembly despite the application of the
recommended torque.
ENSURE THAT ALL COMPONENTS ARE THOROUGHLY CLEANED AND BLOWN DRY WITH
COMPRESSED AIR.

3-INSPECTION
This method is used to check all contact faces between the various components of the drifter for wear.
Place a straight edge on the surface to be checked.
Determine the extent of wear by inserting a feeler gauge between the surface to be checked and the
straight edge.
Repeat the same operation on the other edges of the bearing face.
MAXIMUM WEAR ALLOWED IN THE MIDDLE OF EACH FACE: 0,1mm.

Check working areas A, B and C. Replace all parts that show deep score marks.
There should be no wear in driver pinion parts under normal running conditions.
CAUTION: Scoring and wear is caused by a dirty oil (foreign particles).

- Check: the condition of contact areas A and the condition of contact area of the rear bearing with the
corresponding areas of pinion B.
Replace all parts that show deep score marks.
CAUTION: Scoring and wear is caused by dirty oil (foreign particles).
- Measure the dimension E, minimum dimension = 49.80mm.
a) Rear bearing
This bearing carries most of the strain when
the drifter is in operation.

Important: Carry out a dye penetration
crack test.
- The bearing must be clean and free of
grease:
- Spray on the red product. Wait for at least
10 minutes. Wipe the part thoroughly and
then spray on the white detector product.
Any cracks will then become visible.
AREA TO BE CHECKED
1 Main pinion
Maximum wear of the bronze driver.
Use a new shank to check for sleeve wear.
Put the shank into the sleeve. Measure the wear in one of the
grooves by means of a feeler gauge.
Maximum permissible wear is 5 mm.
CAUTION: Untimely wear of the bronze driver shows a lack of
lubrication.
Check the running condition of the air lubricator if excessive
wear is found.

ASSEMBLY
Use a new shank during the assembly and disassembly process shown above.
Disassembly:
Use a press to push out the main pinion bronze driver and shank stop.
CAUTION: Take care not to damage the special coating on the pinion at the seal contact area.
Recommended method of assembly:
- Pre-heat the pinion in an oil bath (temperature: 150°C/ 302°F)
- Immerse the shank stop and the bronze driver in liquid nitrogen
In this case, it is not necessary to use a press.
DANGER: AVOID BURNS BY WEARING PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND USE PLIERS TO,
HANDLE PARTS.
If no liquid nitrogen is available:
- pre-heat the pinion by immersing it in a oil bath (temperature 150°C/302°F).
- install the stop shank by using a press. Use the same tools as for disassembly.
Bronze driver:
- position the bronze driver by hand.
ENSURE THAT THE OUTER DRIVER SPLINES ARE LINE UP WITH THOSE OF THE PINION.
Before attempting to use the press make sure that the splines of the tool are fully in contact with the
driver splines.
- Press the bronze driver.
- when assembly is completed, the drive hole axis must be level with the pinion edge.

PISTON EDGE
- Check the striking face of the piston. After extensive use the piston can develop an edge as shown
above.
- grind the edge so as to re-establish the original piston profile.
- this area should be polished out after grinding.
Check surface condition on working areas B, C and D. Scratches or marks should be polished out
before re-use.
If it is not possible to polish out deep score marks, then the piston should be replaced.
Scoring is caused by foreign particles in the hydraulic oil. Take care to blow out and cap hydraulic
hoses when replace them. If the piston shows deep scratches all around the area C, this indicates that
the drifter has been used without a shank adaptor. In such a case, it may be difficult to remove the
If scoring is severe, polish with a ball hone and then lap with an old piston and paste.
Annular jamming in area D is caused by misalignment between the rear bearing and the piston.
This misalignment is due to wear on the contact area of the rear flange and/or wear on contact area of
the percussion body.

Caution : Corrosion in the accumulator area is due to water penetrating between the

HOW TO OBTAIN THE CORRECT ROTATION DIRECTION.
SPRING The two moving parts within the hydraulic motor are : the
rotor and the distributor. Both parts are connected by the
distributor shaft
The direction of rotation depends on the correct timing between those two parts.
NOTE : on the distributor, one tooth is alway directed between two ports.
on the rotor, one tooth is alway directed to the narrow part of the rotor and the other tooth
faces the wider part.
DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR
- Put a paint marks on any opposite teeth of the distributor shaft as shown .

Correct position
During assembly of the distributor shaft, install the marked tooth in any of the distributor teeth shown as
correct. ONE PRESSURE PORT SHOULD BE LOCATED AT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE
