BUT 28 is a heavy duty hydraulic
5476 boom with unique features for
efficient and trouble-free opera-

of 48 m2. It is intended for use
in mining and tunnelling, and
designed for operation within

Main features
• With the direct positioning system, the boom can be moved
straight to the next collaring location.
• Double tripod suspension gives accurate parallel holding in all
directions.
• 360 degrees feed roll-over gives full coverage of the tunnel face
without any blind spots and with no change in parallelity.

ment give fast positioning, low
drill steel costs and straight
holes.
• Feed tilt cylinder rotates the feed into vertical position with the
rock drill facing the operator. This gives fast and simple roof
drilling and good supervision of the drilling sequence.
• Main boom joints have axial bearings and bushings, and boom
joints for the cylinders are fitted with adjustable expanding shafts
all maintaining the accuracy and operational precision of the
boom.
• BUT 28 booms are compact and capable of carrying powerful
hydraulic rock drills.
BUT 28 – direct positioning boom with accurate, fast and
simple manoeuvering.
Featuring rapid and exact boom positioning with easy and logical joystick
manoeuvring, the Atlas Copco Boomer rigs equipped with BUT 28
booms give you optimum effective drilling. Roof-drilling and crosscuts are
as easy as face drifting.

Stability Pressure and return hoses Versatility

The robust and stable structure of
BUT 28 allows the feed to be
firmly braced against the face with
a force of up to 17.5 kN. This
provides for stable and straight
collaring of the hole, a prerequisite
for correct hole alignment.
Accurate parallel holding
The boom has hydraulic parallel
holding of the feed due to a unique
double tripod suspension system,
which provides precise parallel
holding during all movements of
the boom, resulting in improved
blasting effect and longer ad-
vances per round.
The parallel holding will also help
to maintain a proper lock-out on
perimeter holes, therefore reduc-
ing the risk of overbreak or
underbreak.
Double tripod suspension gives
accurate parallel holding in all
directions.
Bulkhead
Expanding shafts
Boom joints for the cylinders are
fitted with adjustable expanding
shafts. Boom accuracy and opera-
tional precision can be maintained
throughout the entire service life of
the equipment, simply by tighten-
ing a nut.
New main boom joints
The main boom ends are provided
with new type of joints with fixed
shafts, axial bearings and bushings.
The joints are prepared for installa-
tion of sensors to monitor the
movements of the boom.

Hydraulic hoses
The boom has standard hose
lengths with bulkhead at the rear
boom end that facilitate mainte-
nance (fewer hose lengths to be
kept in stock). Pressure and return
hoses for rock drill percussion are
separated to reduce wear and
facilitate maintenance (easier and
faster to change hoses).
