Developed specifically to provide reliable operation and long working life in the challenging operating conditions frequently encountered in India, the new RX24 medium hydraulic breaker from Chicago Pneumatic combines hybrid gas or oil technology for maximum efficiency with a newly designed breaker box.

With a service weight of 1,650 kg, the RX24 breaker is suitable for use with carriers in the 18 to 29 tonne range, and provides an impact rate of 520 to 680 blows per minute with 135 mm diameter tools.
Typical applications include demolition, rock excavation and quarrying.

The advanced hybrid technology used in the breaker ensures optimum transmission of energy from the piston to the working tool, thereby delivering the best possible efficiency and high impact energy. Further performance gains are provided by Chicago Pneumatic’s Power Booster system, which converts recoil energy into usable energy, allowing the breaker to deliver more usable performance for the same hydraulic input.

Other key features of the RX24 include a heavy-dutybreaker box with rock claws and lateral wear protection, a novel gas seal configuration, and a one-piece cylinder and tool holder that eliminate strain and the risk of seizures. To optimise durability and to ensure ease of servicing, the breaker has been designed with a minimum number of parts, and it has readily replaceable cylinder sleeve that cuts time and costs if repairs should be required.

The active ventilation port protects the breaker by reducing dust intake into the tool guiding area, while the unique breaker-box guiding system minimises recoil forces and noise levels and hence reduces the strain on the carrier, the operator and the breaker.
