Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment (CP), Independence, Ohio, has launched the RX12, the newest RX line of rig mounted, medium hydraulic breakers. Featuring a service weight of 1,380 pounds, the RX12 is applicable to a wide range of applications including demolition, building renovation, road construction and rock excavation and quarrying. The breaker has an impact rate of up to 950 blows per minute and is specified for carriers with a capacity of 19,800-33,000 pounds. It also features innovative hybrid gas/oil technology and fewer moving parts. 

The RX breakers feature a two-in-one design, as the cylinder and tool holder are one piece, monobody. A one-piece floating wear bushing is designed for fast, easy field replacement, and a central lubrication point is designed for quick and easy lubrication. 

The RX line-up also incorporates noise and vibration dampening technology and an internal control valve.  
The RX12 is the smallest in CP?s medium hydraulic class, joining the RX14, RX18 and RX22. CP also features a light and heavy hydraulic breaker class, which are compatible with carrier weight classes from 1.5 to 70 tonne.
