ABSTRACT:
A ram boring implement has a pneumatically driven percussion piston (16), which is movable in the axial direction in a reciprocating manner in a housing (12), and a control sleeve (24) which is axially adjustable for reversing the direction of motion of the ram boring implement and is acted upon by the pressure in one (20) of the pressure chambers (18, 20) formed on both sides of the percussion piston (16). The control sleeve (24) can be adjusted by means of a spindle drive (30, 50) by turning a compressed air supply hose (26). According to the invention, the control sleeve is arranged on a core (30, 34), supported in an axially fixed manner on the housing (12), so that the control sleeve itself forms only a relatively small annular effective area (52) acted upon by pressure. This makes it possible for the control sleeve to be moved forward or toward the rear without the compressed air feed having to be interrupted.
