INGCO S-RH-SB5.5-RH15008 Rotary Hammer Drill- Steel Ball 5.5mm Diameter

In a rotary hammer drill, a 5.5mm diameter steel ball likely functions as a detent ball or locking mechanism within the drill. Here’s a breakdown of the possibilities:

Description:

• The component is a small, spherical ball bearing made of steel, measuring 5.5mm in diameter.

Components:

• The primary component is the steel ball itself.

How it Works (Where the steel ball can be used):

1. Detent Ball in Mode Selection Switch:

   • The rotary hammer drill might have a selector switch for choosing between drilling only, hammering only, or combined drilling and hammering modes.
   • The steel ball could act as a detent ball within the switch mechanism.
   • Spring-loaded plungers or grooves within the switch housing might hold the ball in specific positions corresponding to each mode.
   • When the switch is rotated to select a mode, the ball clicks into a designated detent, providing a tactile and audible confirmation of the chosen setting.

2. Locking Mechanism for Attachments:

   • Some rotary hammer drills allow for the attachment of auxiliary handles or dust collection accessories.
   • The steel ball could be part of a locking mechanism that secures these attachments to the drill body.
   • The ball might fit into grooves or slots on the attachment and the drill body, creating a secure connection when engaged.

Importance:

• In both applications, the steel ball plays a crucial role in:
  • Detent Ball: Providing a positive and clear selection of drilling modes through the switch mechanism.
  • Locking Mechanism: Ensuring secure attachment of auxiliary handles or dust collection accessories for safe and efficient operation.
