3115168000, 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO (Piston Guide / Rear Guide)

When a rock drill is working at full rhythm, the smallest guiding surface can decide whether the whole percussion system stays smooth—or starts “talking back” with heat, scoring, and premature wear. The 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO is built for that exact job: keeping a moving internal component aligned under repeated impact loads, so energy transfers cleanly and the assembly runs true.

This part is commonly referenced in parts catalog listings as a piston guide (rear) for the COP 1838 family (and related configurations).

What the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO does

A “guide” in a rock drill is not just a passive sleeve. In real operating conditions—dust, vibration, high-frequency reciprocation—it works like a precision runway:

• It supports alignment between moving components and the surrounding housing

• It stabilizes motion during high-load cycles

• It helps maintain consistent internal clearances so lubrication can do its job

• It reduces side-loading that can cause scoring, ovality, or seizure marks

In other words, the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO is there to keep the heart of the drifter moving straight, even when the jobsite is anything but gentle.

Recognizing the part from the images

From the photos, the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO presents as a straight cylindrical, precision-machined sleeve with clean faces and a uniform wall thickness—typical of a guide bushing or rear guide element used to control alignment and wear surfaces.

Because the guide’s role is accuracy, common manufacturing priorities include:

• Controlled inner diameter and roundness

• Smooth internal surface finish for consistent oil film

• Stable outer diameter fit to prevent fretting in the bore

• Material structure that resists deformation under repeated shock loading

Where the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO is used (Atlas Copco / Epiroc applications)

Published spare-parts references list this item as 3115 1680 00 – PISTON GUIDE, REAR for COP 1838 configurations.

You will also see the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO offered across multiple Atlas Copco / Epiroc drilling platforms and drifter families in aftermarket listings, including COP-series drifters and common drill rig lines (ROC / DML / DM / DR series).

Commonly referenced compatible drifter models (verify by serial / variant)

• COP 1238

• COP 1638 / COP 1638HD+

• COP 1838 / COP 1838HD+

• COP 1840

• COP 2150 / COP 2160

• COP 2560 / COP 2560EX

• COP 3038

• COP 4050 / COP 4070

Commonly referenced rig/platform families (verify by parts book)

• ROC series (examples: ROC D7/D9, ROC F6/F7/F9, ROC L6/L8 variants)

• DM / DR / DML series drilling rigs (multiple DM/DR variants are commonly listed)

Because Atlas Copco/Epiroc drifters often have configuration-specific variations (hammer options, flush styles, regional builds), the safest match method is always: drifter model + machine serial + parts book confirmation—then order the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO accordingly.

Technical overview for 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO

Even when a guide looks “simple,” it’s engineered around repeatability. A high-quality 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO typically prioritizes:

Material strategy

• Alloy steel or equivalent wear-resistant steel grade suited for impact environments

• Heat-treatment approach designed to resist deformation while avoiding brittle failure

• Surface integrity that supports lubrication film retention

Geometry strategy

• True cylindrical form with controlled roundness

• Flat, square faces for proper seating

• Internal surface finish tuned to reduce friction and prevent scoring marks

Fit and function strategy

• Outer diameter engineered for stable press/locational fit in its mating bore

• Inner diameter engineered to maintain alignment and protect the more expensive mating component

• Designed to behave as a controlled wear surface: replace the guide before damage spreads

Weight (KG)

A spare parts catalogue listing for COP 1838 shows 3115 1680 00 PISTON GUIDE, REAR at 0.34 kg.

Why guide wear matters (and what happens if you delay replacement)

A guide doesn’t usually fail dramatically. It fails quietly—then the bigger components pay the bill. Common symptoms of a worn or incorrect 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO fit include:

• Increased internal noise or “dry” running character

• Heat rise around the guiding region

• Premature seal wear due to misalignment

• Oil contamination (metal fines) and accelerated scuffing

• Loss of efficiency: energy goes into friction instead of rock

Replacing the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO on time is one of the simplest ways to protect the housing bore and the moving core parts that cost far more.

Installation notes for 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO

Below is a practical, field-friendly approach that works well for guide-type components.

1) Confirm the correct part before installation

• Match by part number formats: 3115168000 and 3115 1680 00

• Match by drifter family and variant (example catalogue reference: COP 1838)

2) Inspect the mating bore

Before pressing the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO into position:

• Check for fretting, ovality, or scoring

• Clean thoroughly (no grit, no adhesive residues)

• Verify there is no raised burr that will damage the guide OD during fit

3) Install with controlled force

• Use a proper press tool or installation driver that contacts the face evenly

• Do not strike the edge and mushroom the sleeve

• Seat fully and squarely—mis-seating creates instant misalignment

4) Lubrication and first run

• Ensure the lubrication path is clear before startup

• After reassembly, run and monitor temperature and sound during the first cycles

Maintenance tips to extend service life

To get maximum life from the 3115 1680 00 GUIDE ATLAS COPCO:

• Keep lubrication consistent and clean

• Monitor for contaminated oil (fine particles accelerate internal wear)

• Replace filters on schedule

• Address abnormal vibration early (misalignment is a guide killer)

• Avoid running the drifter “dry” after long idle periods
