Abstract
A hydraulic hammer includes a housing defining a cutout and a power cell slidably received within the housing. The power cell includes a valve assembly extending from a side of the power cell. The valve assembly is at least partially received within the cutout of the housing. The hydraulic hammer further includes a pair of wear plates at least partially disposed around the valve assembly of the power cell. Each of the pair of wear plates is coupled to at least one of the power cell and the housing.
Claims20
A hydraulic hammer comprising:
- a housing defining a cutout and a longitudinal axis;
- a power cell slidably received with the housing, the power cell including a valve assembly extending from a side of the power cell, wherein the valve assembly is at least partially received within the cutout of the housing;
- and
- a pair of wear plates at least partially disposed around the valve assembly of the power cell, wherein each wear plate includes an elongate section and a pair of lateral sections extending from opposite ends of the elongate section, wherein the elongate section is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis and each lateral section is oriented perpendicular to the elongate section, and wherein each of the pair of wear plates is coupled to at least one of the power cell and the housing.
