3115212900 Epiroc impact piston cop 1838 1838+ 1838hd+ 1838mux 1838mux+ 3115 2129 00 Atlas Copco

Impact piston that drops straight into COP 1838 series drifters—no mods, no guesswork.

The 3115212900 impact piston slots directly into COP 1838, 1838+, 1838HD+, 1838MUX, and 1838MUX+ rock drills. It’s the same component as Atlas Copco 3115 2129 00. Shops use it when the old piston is scored, chipped, or simply past its service limit. Machined from hardened alloy, the weight and balance match the OEM spec so impact energy stays consistent—fewer hammer pressure drops, less strain on the shank and chuck.

Typical trigger for replacement:

  • Visible galling or uneven wear on the piston stem
  • Drop in penetration rate with no change in rock conditions
  • Routine overhaul after 1,000–2,000 percussion hours

If your drifter is chewing through pistons faster than that, check flushing pressure, accumulator pre-charge, and front guide bushing clearance. A worn bushing will let the piston run off-center and eat itself in a few shifts.

Highlights
Key Advantages
  • Same geometry as 3115 2129 00—no shimming or rework needed
  • Through-hardened alloy steel, not case-hardened, so surface hardness runs deep
  • Ground and micro-finished stem reduces seal drag and heat buildup
  • Packed with batch traceability and mill certs when requested
  • Ships pre-oiled in a sealed crate to prevent flash rust in transit
Use Cases
Applications
  • Underground production drilling with COP 1838 series drifters
  • Tunnel face drilling and rock bolting where consistent hammer performance matters
  • Quarry benches—1838HD+ rigs running 45–51 mm bits in hard granite or basalt
  • Component overhaul: when you’re already in the drifter for seals and guides, swap the piston
  • Fleet standardization across mixed Epiroc/Atlas Copco rigs using the same drifter family

FAQ
FAQ
Will 3115212900 fit my 1838HD+ even if the serial number is older?
Generally yes. The 1838HD+ kept the same piston dimensions across production years. If your drifter had a factory rebuild or a third-party front end, double-check the piston bore diameter (match to OEM drawing) before ordering. We can email the dimension sheet.
I have 3115 2129 00 on my parts list. Is this the same thing?
Exactly the same part. Epiroc dropped the spaces in the numbering. Same casting, same heat lot standards, same packaging as what you’d pull from an Atlas Copco warehouse.
How do I know it’s not a copy?
Each piston comes in OEM sealed packaging with batch number and QR traceability. We can include a certificate of conformance with your shipment. If you have a CMM, you’re welcome to spot-check—we’ll stand behind the dimensions.
What kind of hours should I get out of this piston in hard rock?
In abrasive granite with 180–200 bar hammer pressure and clean flushing, 1,200–1,800 percussion hours is realistic. In limestone or sandstone, closer to 2,000. Biggest killer is contaminated grease or a worn front guide bushing—replace that bushing at every piston swap.
Do you have the installation torque and clearance specs?
We can send the relevant pages from the COP 1838 workshop manual. Key numbers: tie rod torque, accumulator pre-charge, and front guide clearance. If your crew hasn’t done this before, we’ll walk your lead mechanic through the run-in procedure.
