Sandvik Tamrock Secoma S.a.s AXERA 5, THC560 2005 Service Manual

If you are tearing down a drilling jumbo’s hydraulic system without the right documentation, you are burning billable hours and risking a hydraulic lock or a burst line. I have seen techs guess on valve block adjustments and then wonder why the percussion circuit spikes at start-up. This factory Sandvik Tamrock Secoma S.a.s AXERA 5, THC560 2005 Service Manual is the only reference that matches the machine on your bay floor. Not a third-party reprint, not a scanned copy with missing pages – it is the original 104-page PDF from Sandvik Tamrock Secoma S.a.s, stamped 04-03-2005.

Drilling Hydraulics: What the Manual Actually Covers

The TOC starts with INFORMACIÓN GENERAL and SEGURIDAD – do not skip them. Then it dives into the THC 560 drilling system controls, covering both the TB/B26 arm and the B26NV arm variants. You get separate sections for the percussion and feed control block, the anti-jamming automation block, rotation control block, and the impulse cylinder control block. These are not generic hydraulic schematics; they are specific to the AXERA 5 platform. Every valve block design is explained starting on page 22. Need to know the flow path for the anti-stall return? That is section 4.4.

Does This Manual Cover Both AXERA 5 and THC560?

Yes. The cover says AXERA 5 and THC560 Hydraulics. The manual is a single document that integrates the drilling control system (THC560) with the carrier machine (AXERA 5). If you are working on a 2005 model year, this is the exact publication you need. The hydraulic diagrams in section 7 show the combined circuits for rotation, feed, and percussion. There is no separate manual for the carrier – this is it.

104 Pages of Factory Hydraulic Documentation

Published in 2005, this manual packs 104 pages of technical content. That is not a lot of fluff pages – every page carries a diagram, a torque table, or a step in the disassembly sequence. The hydraulic system section covers filtration, air breather maintenance, and oil cooler specs. For a machine that runs 24/7 in a mine, those details matter. Page 37 shows the system operation diagrams with valve symbols you can actually read.

Get the Right Valve Block Specs

Flip to page 22 for the valve block design overview. That section breaks down the percussion/feed control block, the rotation block, and the feed pressure adjustment block. If you are replacing a spool or setting the pilot pressure, you need the factory numbers. Aftermarket manuals often transpose the port labels. This one does not.

Safety Section: Why You Read It First

Section 2 is SEGURIDAD. It covers lockout/tagout procedures specific to the THC560 hydraulic system. You will also find the correct sequence for depressurizing the accumulators. I have seen a technician crack a line without bleeding the accumulator – not pretty. The safety pages are not optional. Read them before you touch a fitting.

Who Needs This Manual?

If you maintain underground mining jumbos or surface drill rigs equipped with Sandvik Tamrock Secoma S.a.s drilling packs, this manual is for you. The AXERA 5 is a common carrier with the THC560 drilling control. Home garage enthusiasts? Not likely – but if you own one of these machines as an equipment collector or operate a small mine, you need factory data to keep it running. The hydraulic troubleshooting steps in sections 4 and 5 will save you from replacing good components.

Source Validity: OEM vs. Aftermarket

This is the original factory document from Sandvik Tamrock Secoma S.a.s, printed in 2005. The PDF includes the factory part numbers for seals, filters, and valve blocks. Aftermarket manuals often substitute generic parts or omit the critical thread locker specs. I trust OEM documentation because the torque values come from the same engineers who designed the boom. Do not trust a third-party PDF that claims to cover your model – they often copy old revisions.

Is this manual in English?

No. It is in Spanish (Manual de Mantenimiento). The hydraulic diagrams use standard ISO symbols, so you can follow the circuits regardless. If you need English, check the related Sandvik Tamrock Secoma S.a.s THC 700 2003 Technical Manual Sandvik Tamrock Secoma S.a.s THC 700 2003 Technical Manual – that one is in English.

Does it include wiring diagrams?

No. This manual covers hydraulics only. The THC560 control system is hydraulic, not electric. For electrical wiring, you need the machine’s electrical schematic. This manual focuses on valve blocks, pumps, and actuators.

Can I use this for an AXERA 5 built after 2005?

Probably, but check the revision. The 2005 edition covers the hydraulic architecture used through the late 2000s. Serial number changes may affect valve block part numbers. Compare your machine’s hydraulic plate to the diagrams in section 4.

What torque values are listed?

Torque values appear in the component sections – for example, the rotation motor mounting bolts and flange connections. The manual provides Nm values for hydraulic fittings. Always use a calibrated torque wrench.
