Thrust angular contact ball bearings for downhole motor
Product Description:
The bearings in a mud motor at the end of a drill string would place a huge influence on productivity and reliability in terms of oil drilling or gas drilling.The working condition of these mud motor bearings are extremely harsh: the bearings bear heavy axial and shock loads, and they are also exposed with highly abrasive mud.
• Special steel for all bearing components
• Full complement bearing
• Precision matched rings
• Unique bearing design to support heavy
• axial drilling loads
Application:
Downhole motor or oil drill motor
Main customers:
SLB,GE,Halliburton
How the new bearing works ?
The typical mud motor bearing contains between 8 and 12 rows for design optimization. When the bearing is new, the majority of the load is accommodated by the first four or five rows. As each row starts to wear, the load is shifted to the next row and the next until all the rows are worn equally. Then, the load is shifted back to the first row and the process is repeated. This unique Monton design enables the bearing to last significantly longer than previous bearing designs.
About the redesign process
To significantly improve bearing performance and reliability,Monton engineers used proprietary Monton design and simulation tools to
• accurately define the behaviour of a bearing stack
• redesign the bearing to minimize stresses and optimise load carrying capacity
• test new designs and materials. With the Monton virtual test rig, engineers were able to identify and correct the problem of cracked rings and sheared balls – two common problems with these bearing
