The principle of operation of the Bosch 2-26 perforator is no different from perforators of well-known brands.
The rotating rotor transmits torque to the intermediate shaft of the mechanical unit of the perforator, while simultaneously transmitting translational motion through the rolling bearing to the impact mechanism of the perforator and the impact impulse. Torque is transmitted to the working tool with a translational shock impulse. This principle is implemented in all perforators.

But different firms producing punchers have their own design features.

Bosch rotary hammers are considered the best in their segment of power tools. But nothing is eternal.

If your Bosch 2-20, 2-24, 2-26 rotary hammer has stopped working, then you can restore it yourself. You need to have basic locksmith skills and a little understanding of electrical engineering.
And another important detail, the design of Bosch rotary hammers is so simple that it does not cause difficulties during repairs.

When repairing power tools, including the repair of Bosch rotary hammers, strictly follow the safety precautions when working with electrical appliances.

To facilitate the repair of the Bosch rotary hammer, its disassembly and assembly, study the tool assembly diagram:

Two types of cartridges are most commonly used in Bosch rotary hammers: SDS-plus cartridges and SDS-max cartridges. The difference between them is in the principle of clamping the tail of the working organ.

The Bosch perforator chuck device differs in the design of the tool's landing rods, depending on the SDS-plus or SDS-max model. In addition to the listed types of cartridges, there are cartridges SDS-top, SDS-quick.

Disassembled SDS-plus quick release chuck

SDS-plus chucks have been developed especially for drilling tools. The diameter of the tool shanks is 10 mm, the length of the working tool is in the range of 110…1000 mm. The diameter of the drills lies in the range of 4…26 mm.

Putting the punch on its side, remove the mode switch poz.832.

First, turn the switch to the “Drilling” position, press the end of the switch button (it is red) all the way with a screwdriver and turn the switch counterclockwise by 70º.

While shaking the switch handle, pull the switch handle out of the housing.

Putting the Bosch 2-26 rotary hammer vertically on the handle, unscrew the four screws pos. 90 holding the cover of the mechanical assembly housing.

Press the end of the shaft of the percussion mechanism and remove the cover. The lid is black plastic.

Now you need to remove the barrel poz.821 and the intermediate shaft poz.826. They are not attached to anything.

Then, using a screwdriver, remove the bracket poz.48 of the rolling bearing poz.830. By the way, in a simple way it is called "drunken bearing". Consistently removed: sleeve poz.26 and "drunken bearing".

Got to drunk bearing
  • disassembly of the Bosch perforator barrel assembly begins from the side of the cavity, removing the cylinder poz.26 from it with the drummer poz.27;
  • from the cavity it is necessary to get the firing pin assembly;
  • from the side of the chuck shaft, remove the retaining ring poz.85, the steel ring poz.38 and another locking ring poz.85;
  • remove the spur gear poz.22.

Impact mechanism assembly, intermediate shaft and drunken bearing

Inside the cylinder, a drummer poz.27 is inserted, from which the rubber ring poz.73 must be removed. At any disassembly, rubber parts must be replaced without fail.

At the opposite end of the cylinder, a hinge poz.29 and two flat washers poz.41 are inserted.

The intermediate shaft is disassembled by removing the shaft poz.24 and pulling out of the housing poz.77 "drunken bearing".

Bearings are removed by pullers or manually, using a tool.

Bosch rotary hammers are very reliable. But there are malfunctions that are practically not encountered in practice. Below is one of them.

If the hammer drill has stopped hammering, but still allows drilling, the most likely cause may be the destruction of the “drunk bearing”. This malfunction is not common and it is not easy to find it.

To fix it, you do not need to go to a repair shop. Such a malfunction will be eliminated by any person more or less versed in mechanics.

New drunken bearing

First you need to disassemble the Bosch puncher to the intermediate shaft. The order of disassembly is given above.

After removing the intermediate shaft, you will get to the "drunken bearing". The destruction of the rolling bearing is indicated by a broken cage, scattered balls, pieces of the cage.

You take out the bearing, remove the dirt, all parts of the destroyed mechanism.

You buy a new “drunk bearing”, and, after lubricating all the parts with new grease, replace and assemble in the reverse order to the disassembly steps.

Disassembly of the Bosch 2-26 rotary hammer, its electrical part, begins with the removal of the rear cover on the rotary hammer handle by unscrewing three screws.

The next step is to remove the reverse switch.

Turn it to neutral position and lift it towards you. The reverse switch is out.

To remove the stator cover, it is necessary, holding the mechanical assembly in the right hand, and in the left stator housing, drag them in different directions, shaking.

Separation of impact block with rotor and stator

To separate the rotor from the mechanical unit, it is enough to drag these parts in different directions. The rotor is attached to the mechanical assembly by a small helical gear inserted into contact with the large helical gear of the mechanical assembly.

The rotor has been released and you can carefully inspect the condition of the collector, bearings.

To remove the stator, it is enough to remove the protective plastic protective cover, and knock with a wooden block or mallet on the end of the housing into which the stator is inserted. Before doing this, do not forget to unscrew the two screws securing the stator to the housing.

The stator is removed, the rotor is taken out, you can proceed to their inspection and fault detection of all parts that make up the electrical part of the Bosch rotary hammer.

When inspecting a disassembled Bosch 2-26 rotary hammer, pay special attention to the condition of the carbon brushes, plaque on the brush holders and the reliability of their fastening, the integrity of the reverse switch contacts, and the condition of the wire at the entrance to the rotary hammer.

The length of the brushes must not be shorter than 8 mm. On the brush holders there should be no traces of sparks and coal dust from the brushes, on the contacts of the reverse switch of the Bosch 2-26 puncher there should be no burnouts or damage to the contacts.

Hammer drills are of two types:
  • with a horizontal engine installation (the trunk and the anchor of the engine are placed in parallel);
  • with a vertical engine installation (the same parts are at right angles).

Electrical and mechanical parts are the main components of this tool.

The electrical part consists of:

  • engine;
  • engine control device (sometimes combined with a switch);
  • switch/switch;
  • elements that dampen interference;
  • network cord.

The composition of the mechanical part is as follows:

  • a gearbox that is mounted on the motor shaft;
  • percussion mechanism;
  • clutch.

Various add-ons in the form of a drill, crowns, a vacuum cleaner and other parts can be attached to this device.

To repair a hammer drill, you first need to properly disassemble it. And we begin to do this by disassembling the cartridge.

  1. Remove the rubber tip and retaining ring;
  2. Remove the washer and conical spring;
  3. We take out the side balls (preferably with a magnet);
  4. We put the operating mode lever in a position equivalent to the maximum, and remove the switch knob. We fix the position;
  5. Remove the rear cover on the handle and motor brush;
  6. We unscrew 4 screws near the drill to remove the front cover;
  7. We take out the barrel and shaft, and with a screwdriver - the bracket and bearing;
  8. Open the back cover and take out the reverse switch;
  9. We remove the rotor, for which we unscrew the crepes and disconnect the terminals from the starter, which also needs to be removed by removing the protective cover.

Important! When disassembling, be extremely attentive to where and when you remove certain parts. Fold them so that in no case do not lose. It depends on whether you fold the tool back or not.

If any parts in the tool are damaged, broken or do not perform their function well, then they just need to be replaced. If the brushes are worn out, then when parsing them, they are simply replaced with new ones. The punch cartridge with a slow rotation of the rim, a worn boot, and failed bearings are also replaced. But there are other problems that you can fix. If a breakdown of the winding occurs, then the stator and armature must be rewound. It is necessary to monitor the lubrication and lubricate some parts from time to time.

Before you fix something in this model, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of the device, the diagram and the principle of operation. The rotor shaft transmits rotation to the barrel shaft through an intermediate shaft, the bearing of which directs the return movement to the shock piston.

When disassembling the barrel shaft in the impact block, special attention must be paid to fixing the spur gear. Before removing it, you must remove the 3 pins on which it is fixed in this model.

In this bosch gbh 2 24 dsr rotary hammer, the intermediate shaft consists of a switching part, a bearing assembly and a clutch. The latter deteriorates most often, because the teeth wear out quickly in it. The repair of this breakdown is to correct the profile of the engagement teeth. Often you can see that there is no hit. The hammer drill may gradually stop hammering due to wear of rubber parts that need to be replaced in time. And if you apply more force than necessary, this can lead to the fact that the striker will jam in the impact piston.

In this model of the tool splines sometimes wear out. In this case, it is necessary to disassemble the gearbox (it is almost the same as Bosch 2-24, only the bearing is different). It is better to replace the entire barrel, because the strikers wear out along with the splines.

As you can see, repair of perforators can be done at home with your own hands. At the same time, do not spend large sums on various types of repairs in service centers, which, as we know, are very expensive. But do not forget that you must adhere to the rules of use and safety.
