3.1 General Description
3.2 Technical Specifications
3.3 Power Flow Chart

3.1 General Description

3.1.1 Construction

The D3000AC is a two-speed, chain


driven drawworks. Braking is
achieved by the use of three AC
motors, which are also the prime
movers for the drawworks.
The housing is fabricated from a high
strength plate and also heavy
structural members to provide a
sturdy, oil tight and weatherproof
enclosure for the shafts and chain
drives. Structural support plates are
provided for the main shaft bearings.

Photo: D3000AC Drawworks, Driller’s Side

The drawworks frame is carefully fabricated using precision jigs and fixtures to maintain
accurate alignment and chain centres. The drawworks interior is designed so that piping
is protected in the case of chain failure. The drive assembly uses three electric motors.

The drawworks is constructed in two modules for the ease of shipping. Easily
removable guards are provided over all the clutches, affording easy access to the
clutches. Oversize service panels are located at key locations on the drawworks to
provide easy access for all routine maintenance and major service requirements,
ensuring minimum downtime.

3.1.2 Chains and Sprockets

The drawworks drive chains are basic power roller chains manufactured to ANSI B29.1.
This type of chain is known as the “standard series” roller chain. The chain dimensions,
weight, and capacity are proportional to the pitch. All sprockets are hobbed and the
wear points are flame hardened.

(For more information, refer to Section 9 of manual.)

Page 12

3.1.3 Shafting

All the shaft sizes are proportioned, assuring trouble-free operation with rated power
input. Also, all shafts are supported on self-aligning spherical roller bearings. All seals
used in rotating parts on the shafting are heavy duty seals, providing dirt exclusions as
well as lube retention. Non-adjustable, heavy duty straight roller bearings and self-
aligning spherical bearings are used in the clutch sprockets. No adjustment of these
bearings is necessary.

3.1.4 Brakes

The drawworks is equipped with a disc type braking


system. The primary function of the disc brake system is
the parking and emergency capabilities in the event of a
power failure.

The disc brake system employs two discs, one disc on


each side of the drum. The brake’s hydraulic calipers are
spring-applied and hydraulically released, providing a fail-
safe braking capability for both the park and the
emergency braking.

Photo: The D3000AC uses an air cooled brake caliper system.

3.1.5 Clutches

Plate type air actuated friction clutches are used for high/low gear changes.

3.1.6 Drum Design

The D3000AC Drawworks is equipped with a


fabricated drum, 35" bare drum diameter x
72” long with 1-5/8” Lebus grooving.

3.1.7 Lubrication
A simple oil spray system is provided for lubrication of the drawworks chains. The spray
pipes lubricate as well as cool the drawworks chains. One of the oil pumps is mounted in
the oil sump towards the rear of the drawworks and driven by a chain from the jack shaft
of the drawworks. The other pump is driven by an electric motor and is mounted on the
rear section of the skid. A suction filter and a discharge filter are provided. Bearings in
the drawworks that are not lubricated by the drive chain oil are grease lubricated. The
greasing nipples and greasing panels are conveniently located about the drawworks.

4. PRESERVATION & INSTALLATION


4.1 Preservation
4.2 Pre-Installation Procedure
4.3 Installation Procedure

4.1 Preservation

Proper storage and preservation measures will help ensure the maximum design life for
the D3000AC drawworks. Accessory items, spare parts, etc. shall be protected in
accordance with these guidelines.
NOTE: The drawworks is shipped dry; however, prior to shipping a preservative is
run through the lubrication system. All applicable reservoirs have been
shipped with sufficient oil to minimize the areas that may become exposed to
condensation or corrosion.
ƒ Ensure the equipment has been cleaned of all foreign matter and thoroughly dried
before preservation.
ƒ All machined surfaces should be protected with a rust inhibitor (i.e. Denso Tape or
Tecteel spray or equivalent) where applicable.
ƒ Place rubber gaskets and metal blanks over all interface connections. Interface
surfaces, which are not corrosion resistant, are to be protected with a corrosion
inhibitor before sealing.
ƒ Ensure all grease points are well-greased.
ƒ Indoor storage is preferred for the equipment because condensation and corrosion
can be minimized in a controlled environment.
ƒ Remove mud, adhering dirt, and other foreign matter able to hold moisture. If
cleaning is done with steam or a solvent, avoid washing lubricating oil or grease
from unpainted surfaces or close-fitting elements.
ƒ Touch up the paint if necessary in areas that have suffered chipping and wear.
ƒ Elevate the equipment some distance from the ground or floor. Provide enough
beams to give normal support to the equipment. Beams must be high enough to
avoid water accumulation; a drained location is preferable. Remove any
accumulated moisture on or near equipment.
ƒ If the equipment must be stored outdoors, prevent moisture from contacting the
equipment. Pack all equipment with heat-shrunk plastic or tarpaulin of at least 0.15
mm thickness or crated. Ensure the integrity of the tarpaulin and/or crating.
ƒ Where storage temperature is not stable, sufficient sealing of the equipment with
tape, a plastic sheet, and use of desiccant is recommended.
ƒ Preserve cable ends with sealing tape or blanks.

ƒ Desiccant bags are used inside all enclosed areas such as instrument cabinets and
junction boxes. Renew desiccant and sealing tape as necessary.
ƒ Place packing around valve panels (if applicable) to protect against shock or impact.
ƒ All applicable reservoirs should be shipped with sufficient oil in order to minimize the
areas that may become exposed to condensation or corrosion.

4.2 Pre- Installation Procedure

Various measures have been taken or should be taken to preserve the drawworks
equipment. Note the following instructions when taking the drawworks out of storage
and preparing it for installation:

• Remove tape and plastic sheeting from unpainted machined surfaces and all
exposed shafts.
• Remove any metal or molded plastic caps from all threaded connections.
• Remove blanks from the exposed piping ends of the air and cooling systems.
• Steam-clean areas covered with corrosion preventative and surface protection
coatings to remove the coating.
• Re-lubricate areas where steam-cleaning may have washed away lubricants from
pivot points and other moving mechanical parts.
• Paint areas that may have suffered chipping and wear during preservation.
Surfaces must be cleaned of surface corrosion and thoroughly dried before being
repainted with machinery enamel.
• Use silicone sealant for all sealing surfaces.
• After rust protector is removed, clean the brake discs again using a low residue
cleaning solvent such as “Electro-Sol” or MEK. Ensure discs are free of all
residues.
• The D3000AC drawworks requires the assembly of the drum module (refer to
drawing 9108A034) and a power module (drawing 9108A046) prior to installing on
a level foundation:
¾ Install O-ring and silicon at the interface of drum and motor skid.
¾ Align the two skids and tighten the bolts at the seven dowel-pinned
connections (483 ft-lbs). Refer to Section 11 of manual for the torque guide.
¾ Torque down the skid connection bolts. Bolt item ‘E’ – refer to drawing
9108A034 (1462 ft-lbs).
¾ Install jackshaft to the drumshaft chain (item ‘B,’ drawing 9108A046) with
the master link.
¾ Re-install the chain guard.

Pay attention to the drum sprocket guard installation. Ensure that all sealing surfaces
are clean and dry prior to applying the silicone sealant. Follow manufacturer’s directions
for silicone sealant application and curing times. Upon initial startup, ensure there are
no leaks in area.

WARNING: If there is any oil leakage from this area, check the brake pads for oil
contamination. Contaminated brake pads must be replaced
immediately. Do NOT operate the drawworks with contaminated
brake pads.

WARNING: A brake capacity test must be performed after any brake


maintenance procedure.

4.3 Installation Procedure

4.3.1 Lifting Instructions

Refer to the D3000AC Drawworks Overall Lifting Diagram, drawing 9108L022, for
detailed instructions on how to lift the drawworks.

NOTE: The lifting equipment used on drawing 9108L022 is used as a reference


only. It is a typical drawing for lifting equipment suitable for the drawworks.
Equivalent, certified equipment may be used.

NOTE: The lifting equipment is not supplied with the drawworks. The drawing for
typical lifting equipment is used as a reference drawing only.

WARNING: Extreme caution must be exercised when lifting the drawworks as


personal injury or death can result from unsafe work practices.
Please follow all local laws and regulations regarding overhead
lifting operations.

4.3.2 Transportation Instructions

Support the drawworks using the whole base of the drawworks. Refer to the Footprint
and Installation Detail, drawing 9108C026.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 18

4.3.3 Installation Instructions

WARNING: Extreme caution must be exercised when lifting the drawworks into
position as personal injury or death can result from unsafe work
practices. Follow all local laws and regulations regarding overhead
lifting operations.

The drawworks has eight mounting locations. Check each mounting location according
to the procedure below.

The drawworks requires a level, straight base for proper operation. Prior to installation
of the drawworks, check the supporting structure for level and straightness at each of
the mounting locations (refer to drawing 9108C026). The variation from level can’t
exceed 1/4” over the length of the drawworks or 1/8” over the width of the drawworks.
The structure should also be straight within 1/8”. This means that measuring from line
drawn from one end of the drawworks to the other end of the drawworks will result in a
deviation of no more than 1/16” for the two mounting locations in the centre of the
drawworks.

Install shims to bring the supporting structure within the tolerances indicated above.
Once the supporting structure is level and straight, hoist and install the drawworks on to
the structure.

NOTE: Refer to the lifting instructions for details, section 4.3.1.

Prior to installing and torquing the tie down bolts, ensure the drawworks skid is in full
contact with the supporting structure at each of the mounting points. If the drawworks
skid is not touching the supporting structure then shim up the skid at the mounting point.

CAUTION: Do not tighten down the tie down bolts to pull the drawworks skid
tight to the supporting structure. Shim first.

After completing all the shimming, torque all tie down bolts. (1120 ft-lb plain, 840 ft-lb
plated for A325 structural bolts).

Check the level and straightness of the drawworks skid using a surveyor’s level or
similar instrument to take measurements on the skid at the points indicated (8 points).
Each measurement location is marked with a centre punch indent on the top flange of
the main skid beam. The locations are directly above the tie down bolt locations.

6. MAIN OVERHAUL
6.1 Parts Fit – General
6.2 Shafts
6.3 Bearings
6.4 Spacers
6.5 Hydraulic System
6.6 Sprockets and Clutch Hubs
6.7 Hub & Shaft Fits

6.1 Parts Fit – General

Economic factors enter in the normal overhaul job. When the equipment is in the shop
for repairs, new parts may be installed at far less expense than when the equipment is
in service. Should the repair shop fail to replace a partially worn bearing at the time of
overhaul, and should this old bearing fail within the first few months of new service, the
resultant costs from down time and emergency repairs would amount to many times the
cost of replacement at regular overhaul time.

When replacing parts on a shaft assembly, ensure the new part fits within the tolerance
shown. For the assembly or the removal of parts ranging from 0.00 mm to 0.101 mm
tight, heat the parts to approximately 204°C. For the parts ranging from 0.127 mm to
0.254 mm tight, heat them to approximately 343°C.

6.2 Shafts

Wherever possible, all shafting should be checked by magnaflux or other means to


detect any cracks. Cracked shafts should be replaced, as a crack indicates the shaft's
potential to fail during rig operation.

Shafts should also be checked for straightness by supporting the shaft by any anti-
friction means placed at the position of the main bearings, and turning it. Straightness
is then checked by means of a dial indicator placed at the extreme ends of the shaft.
The total reading of the dial indicator should not exceed 0.254 mm. If a shaft shows
greater run out than 0.254 mm, a replacement should be considered. The lack of
straightness in drawworks shafting causes vibration, whipping of chains, and a generally
poor running rig.

6.3 Bearings

Roller bearings should always be discarded if they show pitting, rust or corrosion,
chipping or spalling off of small particles, excessive internal looseness which indicates
extreme wear, or cracks in rollers or races.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 28

In most cases, it will be necessary to heat the bearing inner race to remove it from the
shaft. It will be necessary to heat the inner race and cool the shaft for re-assembly. To
pull the bearing and/or the inner race, place a "U" puller behind bearing or inner race.
Arrange balance of the pulling mechanism and tighten sufficiently to remove all slack.
Apply heat evenly to the bearing or inner race, while simultaneously increasing tension
on pulling mechanism. DO NOT OVERHEAT! Maximum temperature: 125°C

The fits of the outer races to the bearing housing range from 0.127 mm tight to 0.102
mm loose. If the outer race is a tight fit it will be necessary to heat the housing in order
to remove it. The bearing must be cool before it can be re-assembled. When outer race
is a tight fit, arrange the puller mechanism to apply pressure toward the open end of the
housing. Apply heat to the housing and increase pressure on the puller mechanism at
the same time. DO NOT OVERHEAT! Maximum temperature: 125°C

6.4 Spacers

Spacers, used between bearings to maintain center lines of bearings or between


bearings and other parts, are usually 0.0508 mm to 0.1524 mm loose. Spacers that are
used to hold a bearing in position, which is not adjacent to another part securely, fixed
to the shaft, are usually 0.0254 mm to 0.0762 mm tight.

Spacers that have seals on them are shrink-fitted to prevent leaking. To remove a
spacer which is shrunk on a shaft, proceed in accordance with the instructions for
removing a bearing. To replace, heat the spacer, make sure the shaft is cool, and
proceed to do the same as for bearing replacement.

6.5 Hydraulic System

The brake hydraulic system requires the oil cleanliness level maintained at an ISO Level
of 17/15/12 (NAS 6) or better. Due to the critical nature of the hydraulic system, the
viscosity of the hydraulic fluid used in this system should not exceed ISO 22.
Consequently, any repairs to the brake hydraulic system should be undertaken with
extreme diligence in the area of cleanliness. Before opening any connections, ports,
lines, etc in the hydraulic system, the work area should be thoroughly cleaned. Any
openings made in the system should be plugged or blinded immediately. Ensure the
appropriate plugs, caps and blinds are in hand prior to disassembly.

Upon completion of any major repairs, the entire system should be flushed to ensure no
contamination of hydraulic oil occurs. Oil samples should be analyzed on a regular
basis to monitor the system cleanliness.

The brake hydraulic system uses two pressure reducing relieving valves: one to reduce
the main system pressure from 3,000 psi to 1,800 psi. The second pressure reducing
relieving valve is the emergency lowering. The pressure relieving functions of the valve
must be verified before the valve is put into service.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 29

The pressure compensating pump in the brake hydraulic system operates at less than
their maximum displacement. These pumps are set at the factory to have a maximum
flow of approximately 2 gpm. After overhaul or when a new pump is installed, the
volume stop setting must be verified. This is accomplished by measuring the time
required to bring the system from zero (0) pressure to pull pressure (3,000 psi). This
requires approximately 5 US gallons of oil. Therefore, the time to charge the system
with pump should be approximately 2 minutes, 30 seconds.

The pump pressure compensator must be set at 3,000 psi.

The main hydraulic system relief must be set to relieve at a pressure not less than 3,150
psi and not more than 3,300 psi.

6.5.1 Hydraulic Pump – Pressure Compensator Adjustment Procedure

Perform the following procedure to set the pressure compensator; refer to the D3000AC
Air and Hydraulic Schematic, drawing 9108X009, item X.

1. Set the system relief valve first.


2. Turn the system relief valve in to increase the pressure setting of the valve (right
hand thread on the valve).
3. Turn the compensator pressure setting adjustment on both pumps out to reduce the
pump pressure (right hand thread on the adjustment).
4. Start one of the pumps.
5. Watch the pressure rise – when the pressure stops increasing, adjust the
compensator pressure up a little so the pressure increases again.
6. Increase the compensator pressure setting. If the pressure does not increase, check
the system relief valve and increase as required.
7. When the pressure reaches 3,400 psi, stop increasing the compensator setting.
8. With the pump running, reduce the system relief valve setting down to 3,300 psi.
9. The system relief is now set correctly.
10. Now, adjust the pump compensator pressure setting down until the system pressure
is approximately 3,050 psi.

NOTE: The system will have to be bleed off by opening one of the bleeder valves
on the accumulator bottles to reduce the system pressure. Leave the
bleeder valve open just slightly (1/2 turn or so).

11. This pump is now set correctly. Check to ensure the pump compensator is higher
than the PLC pump pressure shut off setting. Adjust the pump or PLC to suit. The
final system pressure as controlled by the PLC should not exceed 3000 psi.

12. Adjust the second pump compensator pressure setting.


NOTE: Only the pump that is being adjusted should be running.

6.5.2 Hydraulic Pump – Volume Adjustment Procedure


The maximum volume stop on the pumps should be set at the factory so the pumps
produce 2 gpm (US). It is relatively simple to ensure if this has been done. Refer to the
Hydraulic & Air Schematic, item X, drawing 9108X009 for the following procedure.

1. Bleed all pressure from the hydraulic system by opening the bleed off valves on the
accumulator bottles.
2. Start one pump and record the time it takes for the system to reach the operating
pressure of 3,000 psi. The accumulator bottles hold 5 gallons of oil at 3,000 psi.
Therefore, the necessary time should be 2 ½ minutes to reach 3,000 psi.
3. If the time to charge is too short or too long, reduce the flow by adjusting the
maximum volume stop. Acceptable time would be between 2 minutes and 15
seconds and 2 minutes and 45 seconds. Refer to the hydraulic pump manual for
directions on adjusting the maximum volume stop.
4. Check the current draw of power by the motor to ensure it is within the operating
parameters listed on the motor name plate.

NOTE: DO NOT change the maximum volume setting or else the electric motor
could be overloaded!

6.6 Sprockets & Clutch Hubs

The teeth of almost all sprockets are surface hardened. This


hardening is effective to a depth of approximately 3.175 mm. After
several years usage the chain may wear into the sprocket teeth.
When the sprocket teeth become worn to a depth near 3.175 mm,
the rate of wear will accelerate. The amount of wear may be
ascertained by visual inspection. If inspection shows the amount of
wear to be near 3.175 mm, the sprocket should be replaced at the
time of overhaul.

Four methods are used for mounting clutch hubs, bearing inner races and sprockets on
shaft assemblies.

A. Press fit without key


B. Press fit with key
C. Shrink fit with / without key
D. Tapered shaft with key

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 32

When removing and replacing parts mounted according to arrangement A) refer to


instructions for removing bearings (reference section 6.3). Sprockets mounted
according to arrangements B) & C) may have a straight key, which has a tapped hole in
the end of it.

Screw the puller into this hole and remove the key. The sprocket may then be removed,
usually with heat application. If a tapped hole is not provided in the key, it will be
necessary to pull the sprocket without first removing the key. Insert puller studs through
openings between sprocket spokes 180° apart. Place steel plates and nuts on stud
ends extended through the openings.

Arrange balance of pulling mechanism and tighten only enough to remove any slack.
Apply heat evenly and as near to the hub as possible while increasing tension with the
puller at the same time. DO NOT OVERHEAT!

In some cases the hubs will have two tapped holes in the end so that the puller may be
screwed in. In other cases where neither spokes nor tapped holes are available for
utilization of puller studs it will be necessary to use a "strong back" or "U" plate behind
the sprocket and secure the puller studs to it.

Proceed to remove the sprocket as described above. To replace the sprocket, first
make sure the shaft is cool. Heat the sprocket to approximately 204°C. Be sure that the
keyways in the shaft and sprockets are aligned before the sprocket tightens on the
shaft. Insert key after sprocket has been installed.

CAUTION: Excess heat at the hub and attempting to pull the sprocket with a
chain attached to the outer rim (powered by a jack on the end of the
shaft), will bend the sprocket. Sprockets with shrink fits are very
difficult to remove. This should only be attempted in a shop where a
hydraulic press is available.

If the sprocket is being removed for salvaging and installing on a new shaft, cut the
shaft near the sprocket and machine part of the metal from the shaft under the sprocket.
Heat the sprocket and press out "Dutchman".

If the purpose of removal is to replace the sprocket with a new one, it is advisable to
machine or torch cut the old sprocket to remove it. Let the shaft cool, heat the new
sprocket to 204°C, and assemble on shaft.

NOTE: When a shaft assembly is disassembled for any reason, be sure that
passages for admission of air or grease are thoroughly cleaned.

For arrangement D), refer to the section 6.7.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 33

6.7 Hub & Shaft Fits

The temperature required to expand a hub enough to be assembled easily over an


interference fit can be determined by the following equation:

(E)
T= + ( TR)
( 0. 00001098 )(B)

Where:

T = Heated Temperature (°C)


E = Expansion of Bore Diameter Required (millimeters)
B = Bore Diameter (millimeters)
TR = Room Temperature (°C)

0.00001098 = Approximate coefficient of steel expansion in millimeters


per degree Celsius per millimeter of length (or diameter).

For example, if we have a 215.9 mm (8.500") diameter bore hub which has a 0.2032
mm (0.008") interference fit with the shaft and we wish to have 0.2540 mm (0.010")
clearance while assembling the hub over the shaft - the total bore expansion needed
will be 0.4572 mm (0.018"), therefore:

E = 0.4572
B = 215.9
let TR = 21.1°C (70°F)

( 0. 4572)
then: T= + ( 211
. ) = 214° C( 420° F )
( 0. 00001098 )( 215. 9 )

CAUTION: Hardened parts such as bearing races should not be heated to over
204 - 232°C, since their hardness might be affected. Heat should be
applied carefully and evenly to prevent distortion. The general rule
for the average interference used in cylindrical fits is as follows:

Press Fit - .0005 in (0.0127 mm) x shaft diameter (inches)


Shrink Fit – 0.001 in (0.0254 mm) x shaft diameter (inches)

The actual fit will have plus or minus tolerance depending on the shaft and bore
tolerances used in manufacture.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 34

Overhung sprockets, clutch hubs, etc., are often made with tapered shaft fits for
convenience of assembly and disassembly. The tapers used on Dreco™ drawworks are
normally made to 1.250" diameter per foot of length of engagement or 10.4167 mm
diameter per 100 mm. In many cases, the hub must be shimmed against an adjacent
bearing spacer. Care must be taken to ensure the shims do not interfere with drawing
the hub up tight on the taper.

A recommended method for assembling hubs that require shimming is to assemble the
hub firmly on the shaft without shims and without heat. Measure the shim gap behind
the hub. The required thickness of the shim pack will be this measurement minus the
draw allowance to be provided for tightening the hub up on the shaft. For each 0.0254
mm of diametrical interference on a 10.4167 mm per 100 mm taper, the hub will
advance approximately 0.254 mm. For example, if an interference of 0.0762 mm is
desired in the taper fit, the shim gap must allow for a 0.762 mm advance of the hub on
the shaft. The hub may be lightly heated to facilitate the draw.

• As in any piece of machinery, all parts are machined to close tolerances. It is
imperative that the working area be as clean as possible.
• All seals are wear and tear items and therefore should be replaced whenever a
shaft is being disassembled.
• Clean all of the oil passages when working in a given area by blowing air pressure
through the oil passages.
• When repair to a shaft is completed, clean all oil passages and tubes before re-
installing the cover.
• When reassembling drawworks components, ensure all of the covers are properly
sealed before they are installed.
• Verify the proper type of lubricant is being used.
• Replace any lubricant that is contaminated or is not of the proper type.
• Check all adjustments, pressures, and fluid levels before restarting the drawworks.

8. Lubrication & Maintenance


8.1 Lubrication
8.2 Maintenance

8.1 Lubrication

The D3000AC drawworks should be operated and maintained as required by API


Standards and local regulations. Where the two overlap, the stricter rules should
govern.

Before starting any new machinery, the operator must grease all parts and fill all
reservoirs with the prescribed lubricants. New equipment should be drained and refilled
with oil after the first few weeks of service. Thereafter, it should not be necessary to
change oil more than once every six months except when:
ƒ the oil may have become contaminated by water or other foreign matter.
ƒ the temperature changes sufficiently to require a change in the viscosity of the oil
being used.

Oil levels should be checked daily and topped up if necessary and oil spray nozzles
should be checked periodically to ascertain that oil holes are open and delivering oil.
Avoid mixing lubricants of different brands, grades, and/or viscosities. Service periods
will depend on the usage of the equipment.

8.1.1 Recommended Greases

For many applications, the advantages of being able to use single multipurpose grease
instead of several separate grades outweigh the added product cost. Lithium complex
soap greases have been developed and are accepted for their wider operating
temperature range and good water resistance. Use a premium lithium-based
multipurpose EP 2 grease (Extreme Pressure meeting NLGI #2 or grade 2) or
equivalent for all greased components unless otherwise noted.

Apply grease regularly at fittings until the old grease starts to seep around the seal,
flushing out the used grease along with any accumulated water and debris. Maintain a
coating of grease on all sliding surfaces and unpainted machined surfaces for
lubrication and corrosion protection (e.g. scoping cylinder rod surfaces and pin/lug
contact surfaces). Grease seeping out through the seal or relief fittings during
lubrication indicates the bearing has received sufficient grease.

Where grease fittings are not present and the lubricated component must be
disassembled to replenish the grease (e.g. sealed pillow block), disassemble the
component, remove old lubricant, re-pack with new lubricant, assemble and install the
component. Re-pack all components that lack grease fittings at least once every year.
Remove any exposed grease seepage to minimize dirt accumulation.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 42

8.1.2 Special Lubricants

There are times when a special type of lubricant is justified. Some of the super premium
greases have excellent low temperature properties. Using super premium grease during
extremely cold weather may be advantageous.

Rusting and corrosion of bearings, sprockets, etc. is normally not a problem during rig
operation, but may become serious over prolonged inactivity in a damp environment.
Ordinary oils and greases provide moderate corrosion protection, but special
compounds may provide increased corrosion protection. Applying super premium
greases to every fitting in quantities sufficient to flush out most of the old greases will go
a long way towards protecting the equipment from rust and corrosion during storage.

For maximum protection against rust and corrosion during prolonged storage, it is best
not to rely on the oil that was clinging to the parts when the rig was shut down. Instead,
use a compound that is specifically designed and formulated for this purpose and apply
it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. In selecting a special storage
lubricant, it is best to use one that does not require any special cleaning before the rig is
run again. There are compounds that will be flushed away by normal lubrication oil and
mix with it harmlessly.

8.1.3 D3000AC Drawworks Lubrication

To ensure good performance of any mechanical equipment, it is necessary to maintain


good alignment and good lubrication with clean oils and greases. Check drawworks
housing and oil sump for the presence of dirt or water. Drain and clean if necessary.

All chains are lubricated by a pressure spray system to provide maximum chain and
bearing life. The guards are designed to assure return of oil to the sump and prevent
any oil from entering the clutch elements. The sump should be filled with the quantity
and viscosity of oil listed below:

D3000AC Drawworks Oil Sump Capacity: 100 US Gal. (379 L)

Ambient Temperature Recommended Lubricant


Above 12°C ISO 150 Gear Oil
-18°C to 12°C ISO 150 All Season Gear Oil
Below -18°C Pour point at least 5°C lower than minimum
ambient temperature

Grease all points with lithium-based grease. Where toggle pins and lever bracket
bearings are lubricated directly, sufficient grease should be added at each lubrication
point until grease just begins to seep out around the hub. Self-aligning roller bearings in
weatherproof housings need only a small amount of grease at each application (three or
four grease gun shots per bearing).

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 43

Grease seeping out through the seal or relief fittings during lubrication indicates that the
bearing has received sufficient grease. It is not necessary to keep these housings
completely full of grease as it only expands due to heat during operation and is forced
out through the mechanical seal or relief fitting.

Perform the following checks while the lubrication system is operating:

A. Check all spray nozzles to ascertain that oil holes are open and delivering oil. Spray
nozzles are located in all chain drive cases.

B. Check oil supply pressure gauge. It should indicate 30 - 75 psi. Pressure drop
across the filter should not exceed 20 psi.

1. If pressure is too high:


a) Check chain oil spray nozzle for blockage
b) Adjust flow control valve at inlet end of spray pipe header and open further.
c) Adjust pump bypass relief valve.

2. If gauges show no pressure:


a) Check oil level in reservoir and add oil if necessary.
b) Check the pump suction strainer and clean if necessary by washing in a
suitable cleaning solution.
c) Check bypass relief valve on oil pump. Turn adjusting screw inward to
increase bypass pressure.
d) If all spray nozzles are delivering adequate oil, check pressure gauge tubing
for damages or stoppage.

written approval by the manufacturer to retain the warranty.

8.2 Maintenance

Preventive maintenance may be carried out by regular operating personnel. Other,


more complex types of maintenance should be performed by specialists. The
disassembly, mechanical inspection, and repair during equipment strip-down are to be
performed by a qualified and experienced mechanic who is familiar with the proper use
of appropriate tools.

To minimize chances of personnel injury and equipment damage, provide a safe


working area and ensure all work pieces are adequately and correctly supported and/or
blocked. When other than routine servicing is necessary, it is suggested that the unit or
major component be removed to an area where ample work space is available and a
hydraulic press, overhead crane, bearing pullers, impact tools, etc. are accessible.

8.2.1 Routine Inspection

DAILY Checked Recorded


A1 Check lube oil level
A2 Check hydraulic oil level
A3 Check lube oil pressure
A4 Check for fluid leaks (hydraulic and lube oil)
A5 Check work area for cleanliness
A6 Check hydraulic pressure for and function of all
brake calipers.
A7 Check sight glass on air line filter for moisture
content and drain if necessary; drain air tank if
needed.

A1 Check the oil level a few minutes after the shaft has stopped rotating and the
pumps have been shut off to allow circulating oil to accumulate in the lube oil
tank. Test for and drain any condensation in the oil reservoirs at regular intervals;
especially a few hours after shutdown. If dirt or water is present in the drawworks
housing and lube tank, drain the lubricant and renew as per instruction E1.

NOTE: It is not possible to check the lube oil level with the drawworks operating.
The drawworks must be stopped and both lube pumps must be shut off
before checking the lube oil level.

A2 The hydraulic oil level should be


checked with both hydraulic pumps shut
off and both accumulator bottles bled off
and all the brake calipers engaged. In
this condition the oil level in the tank
should be 1 inch from the top of the
tank.

NOTE: Both sight glasses will be filled.


Hydraulic Filter
The hydraulic oil level may be checked
while the machine is running by looking
Upper Sight Glass at the sight glass on the side of the tank.
The oil level should be within 2” inches
of the top of the lower sight glass. The
Lower Sight Glass lower sight glass will be completely full
when operating if the tank is filled to
within 1” of the top of the tank as
detailed above.

Document No. 9108E029
Page 46

WARNING: Do not fill the hydraulic tank while the drawworks is operating. A low
hydraulic oil level indicates a leak in the system. The operation
should be brought to a stop and the load secured in the slips. The
brakes should be checked to ensure they have not contaminated with
oil and then the drawworks should be shut off. The leak should be
found and repaired and then the hydraulic tank should be filled as
directed above before continuing operation.

A3 Lube oil pressure is indicated by a gauge in the driller’s cabin (oil pressure should
be approximately 20-75 psi or 517-1034 kPa when the rig is running).

NOTE: Pressure will drop as the temperature rises.

If pressure is too high, perform the following checks:


• Check oil spray nozzles for blockage and ensure that oil holes are open and
delivering oil. If no blockage is found, see vendor service information for
setting the relief valve and flow controls.

If gauges show no pressure, perform the following checks:


• Check oil level in reservoir and add oil if necessary.
• Check oil filter and clean or renew as necessary.
• Check bypass relief valve on oil pump, turn adjusting screw inward to
increase bypass pressure.
• If all spray nozzles are delivering adequate oil, check pressure gauge tubing
for damage or blockage.

A4 Check piping for leaks (oil and hydraulic) - a pressure drop may indicate a
substantial leak in the system. The presence of oil in the drawworks skid integral
drip pan indicates an oil leak within the drawworks.

A5 Check work area for cleanliness. A clean work area minimizes the chance of
contaminants entering the machinery, which causes premature component wear.

A6 Check the setting of the hydraulic pressure operating the brake caliper. It should
read 1800 psi. Function test the calipers from the driller’s cabin. Ensure all
calipers engage and disengage when activated.

WARNING: Brake caliper operation should be checked at the start of each shift.

WARNING: Contaminated brake pads must be replaced immediately. Do not


operate the drawworks with contaminated brake pads.

B2 Check wireline clamp integrity - the wireline must remain securely within the
clamp without slipping. Leave three or four inches of rope tail. After the rope has
been under load for a period of time, check the nut to ensure tightness.

WARNING: Ensure that the travelling block is secured from falling and that the
brake hydraulic system has been bled off completely. When working
on brakes, brake controls, valves, tubing, hoses, pumps, or any other
brake system component during maintenance/overhaul, inadvertent
release of the brakes may occur resulting in serious damage to
equipment and serious/fatal injuries to personnel.

B3 Inspect pad wear limit (minimum thickness = 0.50”) and inspect shoe linings
(refer to National Oilwell Varco Emergency Disc Brakes Manual EPL-1825).

B4 Ensure the accumulator bottles on the hydraulic system are pressurized. If not,
check for leaks in the system and that the system is functioning properly.
(Accumulator pre charge pressure = 1,000 psi)

NOTE: Accumulator pre charge pressure may only be checked after the entire
hydraulic system has been bled off to zero (0) pressure.

B5 Grease both main drumshaft bearings (four shots each, twice per week).

B6 Grease brake caliper main pins with molybdenum rich EP2 grease. Remove all
excess grease from the pins and brake beam.

WARNING: Absolutely no grease or oil is allowed to contact brake pads or brake

have been unused for more than a few weeks. Slip and cut any wireline that
exhibits broken wires, a significant reduction in cross sectional area, or increase
in length. Pay particular attention to areas around sheaves or yokes. Breaks
often occur in the core of the line and require close inspection to locate. Replace
any rope having damage resulting in distortion of the rope structure. Wireline
corrosion reduces the metallic areas of a rope, thus weakening it. Proper wireline
lubrication will inhibit corrosion

WARNING: Mineral oil based wireline lubricants must not be used on this
drawworks. Asphalt based lubricants and plastic impregnated wire
ropes are acceptable.

C3 Check the availability and condition of tools, especially those required for regular
service. Tools should be present and in good condition.

9. GENERAL ROLLER CHAIN


9.1 Chain and Connecting Link Installation
9.2 Retaining Devices
9.3 Methods of Lubrication
9.4 Drive Guarding

National Oilwell Varco’s Dreco series of drawworks are designed with fixed center roller
chain drives. The shaft centers are designed so a new chain will be tight on installation
but will not become “loose” after the initial run in. The chains should be inspected at
least once every three months and when it is loose enough, two pitches of chain should
be removed and a half link installed to tighten up the chain. Roller chain should be
replaced as soon as it has stretched to 1.5% of it nominal pitch length. This means a
100 pitch long piece of 1” pitch chain should be discarded as soon as the chain has
stretched to a length of 101.5”. This can be measured by checking a smaller portion of
the chain (i.e. 10 pitches of 1” chain should not be more that 10.15” long).

9.1 Chain and Connecting Link Installation

Installing the Chain:


Fit the chain around the sprockets in the drive and bring the free ends together,
normally between the sprockets, for final connection. Look for the access cover for the
master link installation. A rope or chain tightener should be used to bring the ends of
the chain together.

Installing the Connecting Link:


The connecting link, depending upon the size and type of chain, may employ either a
slip-fit or press-fit cover plate, combined with either a spring clip or cotters as the final
retainer.

Press-fit cover plates:


Are those which have an interference fit on the pins and provide integrity equal to the
base chain itself. They do, however, present their own unique degree of difficulty at
assembly.

To assemble the press-fit cover plates:


1. Insert the “Master Link,” the portion of the link that contains the pins, and provide
support or backing to resist the forces needed to drive the cover plate on.
2. Place the press-fit cover plate over the exposed pin ends and ensure that it is
aligned properly.
3. Drive the cover plate on until it is flush with the ends of the pins.
4. Obtain a hollow punch (perhaps a small piece of pipe or a discarded chain’s roller)
and locate it over/around the flush pin end.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 54

5. Alternately from one pitch hole to the other, continue to drive the ends of the link
plate onto the pins until it is clear of the spring clip groove or cotter hole. Care
should be taken not to drive the plate on so far as to squeeze against or pinch the
roller links. This will result in stiff or binding joints.
6. Install the retaining device, either spring clip or cotter.

CAUTION: Never drill out or enlarge the pitch holes of a press-fit cover plate to
make the installation easier. This will lower the integrity of the link.

Slip-fit cover plates, discussed in the General Drive Considerations section, are those,
which have a clearance fit on the pins. These connecting links are far easier to install
but reduce the working load capacity of the chain.

To assemble the slip-fit cover plate:


1. Insert “Master Link,” the portion of the link that contains the pins, into the chain.
2. Slide the plate over the pin ends to a location which clears either the spring clip
groove or cotter hole.
3. Install the retaining device, either spring clip or cotter.

NOTE: When a slip-fit cover plate is used, a chain’s working capacity can be reduced
as much as 30%.

9.2 Retaining Devices

Spring clips are provided for chain models #25 - #60 and provide a quick and easy
method for securing the cover plate. Installation is performed by first determining the
direction of chain travel and locating the closed end of the clip over the leading pin’s
groove. Final installation is performed by “snapping” the clip over the trailing pin,
locking it into the groove. Care should be taken not to bend or deform the clip during
installation as this may cause it to come loose during operation.

Cotters are normally provided on #80 and larger models’ connecting links as the
method of retaining the cover plate. These cotters are specially heat treated to obtain
specific properties which are beneficial in service. After insertion, the legs should not be
spread in excess of 90° (included angle) and if removed should not be reused. It is not
recommended to use commercial cotters as they may not provide satisfactory
performance in severe applications.

Proper Chain Tension:


It should be expected that new chains will elongate slightly more during the first few
days of service then in the months of subsequent operation. This is due to the “running-
in” of the chain which removes minute imperfections from the surfaces of the pins and
bushings. Because of this, it is good practice to establish and adjust centre distances or
idlers for an initially snug-fitting chain. After the initial run-in period, the drive should
always be adjusted so that there is some degree of slack in the unloaded section of
chain. This slack is very important as it allows the pin/bushing joint to lubricate itself
prior to entering the working or loaded portion of the drive.

The following represents recommended mid-span movements for a properly tensioned


drive.

Roller chain drives suffer more harm from faulty lubrication than from years of normal service!!!

A roller chain consists of a series of connected journal bearings which must be properly
lubricated to obtain the maximum service life. Although many slow speed drives
operate successfully with little or no lubrication beyond that initially applied at the time of
manufacture, continued proper lubrication will greatly extend the useful life of every
chain drive.

Page 56

Chain drives require lubrication for six primary purposes:


1. Resist wear of the pin-bushing joint.
2. Cushion impact loads.
3. Dissipate heat.
4. Flush away foreign materials.
5. Lubricate chain-sprocket contact surfaces.
6. Prevent rust or corrosion.

In selecting a lubricant, a good grade of clean petroleum oil without additives is most
commonly recommended. Certain additives in oil can leave a varnish or gum build-up
which will prevent additional lubricant from entering chain joints.

The viscosity of the lubricant greatly affects its ability to flow into the internal areas;
therefore, the highest viscosity oil which will flow between the chain link plates and fill
the pin-bushing areas will provide the greatest film thickness and best wear life.

Greases, applied to the exterior of the chain, serve no purpose with the exception of
protecting the external surfaces from rust or corrosion and should not be relied upon to
provide any internal lubricating benefits.

The following table provides a guideline for selecting the proper lubricant viscosity at
various ambient temperatures:

Ambient Recommended Lubricants


Temperature SUS Viscosity SAE Engine SAE Gear
ISO AGMA
Degrees F 100 F Oil Oil
20-40 200-400 20 80W 46 or 68 1 or 2
40-100 400-650 30 85W 100 3
100-120 650-950 40 90 150 4
120-140 950-1450 50 90 220 5

NOTE: National Oilwell Varco recommends the use of an ISO 150 gear oil for warmer
climates and an ISO all season gear oil for colder climates.

The elongation of roller chain is the result of wear caused


by friction between the pins and bushings and regardless
of the size or type of chain, in order for any lubricant to
reach the critical pin/bushing area it should be applied to
the upper edges of link plates in the slack span. Lubricant
applied only to the chain’s rollers will not provide an
adequate supply to the internal wearing surfaces.
However, the chain’s rollers will receive adequate
lubrication due to spillage over the link plate edges when
lubricant is properly applied.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 57

NOTE: When applying lubricant to multiple


strand chain, it is important that
lubricant be directed to each row of
chain link plates, not just the
outermost rows; and, in conveying
applications, oil should be directed
between the rollers and bushings as
well as between the chain link plates,
as significant wear can result from
external loading.

9.3 Methods of Lubrication

There are three basic methods of lubrication for roller chain drives. Close adherence to
these recommended types of lubrication is essential in obtaining the maximum service
life of a chain drive. These recommended types of lubrication, as shown in the
horsepower rating tables, are determined by the chain speed and the amount of power
transmitted.

Manual or Drip Lubrication (Type A):


Lubricant applied manually with an oil can or brush is
acceptable for slow speed drives, generally not over 600
feet per minute. When lubrication must be accomplished
with a minimum amount of oil, it is advisable to equip the
system with either felt pads or brushes which are fed by
lubricant from a reservoir and carefully positioned to
direct oil into the clearances between each row of link
plates in the slack span of chain.

Bath Lubrication (Type B):


Lubricant is applied to the chain by allowing the oil level
within an enclosed casing to cover the chain at
approximately the pitch line at its lowest point of operation.
This is by far the most desirable method for chains
operating at up to approximately 1500 feet per minute.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 58

Forced or Circulating Lubrication (Type C):


This is similar to bath lubrication with the
exception that the lubricant is pumped onto the
chain under pressure. The oil should be
delivered to the upper edges of each row of link
plates across the lower span of chain just prior to
the chain’s entry into one of the sprockets.

The following table can be used as a guide for determining the type of lubricating
system based upon the speed of the chain in feet per minute. The final selection
should, however, be based upon the type of lubrication system recommended in the
horsepower rating tables for the specific chain, sprocket, speed and horsepower
transmitted.

*Chain Speed in Feet/Minute

All chain drives should receive regular maintenance. Each drive should be inspected
after the initial 100 hours of operation. Thereafter, most drives may be inspected at
500-hour intervals. For drawworks chains should be inspected every three months
minimum. However, drives subjected to shock loads or severe operating conditions
should be inspected at more frequent intervals. This section will provide guidance as to
what items should be evaluated during regular inspection intervals.

9.4 Drive Guarding

The strongest chain, built to the highest quality standards, still can break in normal
service due to the effects of wear, fatigue, or unexpected overloads. Therefore, a roller
chain drive should have adequate guarding to prevent personal injury or property
damage.

If a roller chain breaks on a drive while operating at speed, the chain can be thrown off
the sprockets with considerable force. The user should either provide adequate
guarding to contain a broken chain, or prevent personnel from entering an area where a
broken chain could strike them.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 59

There are applications where a broken chain could release a load and cause personal
injury or property damage. Provisions for a brake or other restraining device which will
stop and hold the load in the event of a broken chain should be incorporated into the
machinery’s design.

Regular Inspections: At each inspection, the following items should be checked, the
condition corrected, or the chain replaced as necessary:

1. Check Lubrication
On slow speed drives, be sure the lubrication schedule is being followed and if
the chain is covered with dirt and debris, clean the chain with an approved
solvent and lubricate it. If drip lubrication is used, check for adequate oil flow and
be sure it is being applied at the proper location on the chain. (Refer to the
Lubrication section.)

2. Check Chain Tensions


Refer to the installation section and check chain tension. Adjust the drive as
needed to maintain the proper sag in the slack span. If elongation exceeds the
available adjustment, remove two pitches of chain and reconnect.

3. Check Chain Wear


Roller chains should be replaced promptly when worn (elongated beyond 1.5%)
or when the chain rollers begin to “ride high” near the tips of the teeth on
relatively large sprockets. If the chain is worn excessively, replace the entire
chain. Do not connect or splice a new section to a worn chain. Do not continue
to run a chain, worn in excess of 1.5% (or less in some applications), because
the chain will not engage the sprockets properly and increased damage to the
sprockets may occur.

4. Check Sprocket Tooth Wear


Check for roughness or binding when the chain engages
or disengages from the sprocket. Inspect the sprocket
teeth for reduced tooth section and “hooked” tooth tips. If
these conditions are present, the sprocket teeth are
excessively worn and the sprocket should be replaced.
Do not run new chain on worn sprockets as it will cause
the new chain to wear rapidly. Conversely, do not run a
worn chain on new sprockets as it will cause the new
sprockets to wear rapidly. As a general rule, replace the
sprockets with every third chain replacement.

5. Check Sprocket Alignment


If there is noticeable wear on the inside surface of the chain roller link plates, the
sprockets may be misaligned. Realign the sprockets as outlined in the
Installation section to prevent further abnormal chain and sprocket wear.

www.nov.com
Document No. 9108E029
Page 60

6. Check for Drive Interference


Check for interference between the drive and other parts of the equipment. If
there is any, correct it immediately. Interference can cause abnormal and
potentially destructive wear on the chain or the interfering part. If the edges of
the chain link plates impact against a rigid part, link plate fatigue and chain failure
can result.

Check for and eliminate any build-up of debris or foreign material between the
chain and sprockets. A relatively small amount of debris in the sprocket roll seat
can cause tensile loads great enough to break the chain if forced through the
drive.

7. Check for Failure


Inspect the chain for cracked, broken, or deformed parts. If any of these
conditions are found, replace the entire chain. Even though portions of the
chain may appear to be in good condition, in all likelihood, the entire chain has
been damaged.

WARNING: Roller Chains that have been damaged under excessive


loading due to an accident, or otherwise, should be
completely replaced because the chain, as well as the
damaged component, has been loaded to a degree that has
impaired its ability to transmit normal loading.

8. Evidence of Lubrication

One of the first indications that a roller chain is not receiving adequate lubrication
is that the external areas around the joints will most likely have a reddish/brown
(rusty) colour. The inadequate lubrication can be confirmed by removing a link
(most commonly the connecting link) and examining the surface of the pins. The
colour of the pins will generally be dark brown, even blue, if the chain has been
running with inadequate lubrication. Additionally, the surface of poorly lubricated
pins will be rough, grooved, or even show evidence of galling.

Properly lubricated chains will not exhibit the rusty colour at the joints, and the
pins of the connecting links, when removed will be generally smooth, shiny and
have an obvious coating of lubricant on the surface.

10.1 Equipment Fault Symptoms & Causes

10.1 Equipment Fault Symptoms & Causes

There are many variables that could play a factor in field operation; therefore, if there
are problems not listed and cannot be solved, contact National Oilwell Varco for
assistance. Assuming the drawworks equipment is properly installed and operated, and
undergoes routine maintenance and change-out, little or no trouble should be expected
from the equipment. Because the symptoms of a failed or worn component may differ
with the equipment operating conditions, observe those conditions (e.g. load/no load,
braking, etc.) which best indicate the symptoms. Understanding the schematic drawings
may be helpful for isolating faults related to the controls or lubrication systems. Where
possible, use other means to verify operation or fault conditions (e.g. pressure gauges
for hydraulics). Use the following table as a guide for fault diagnosis:

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE

11.3 Turn-of-Nut Tightening

(Ref. RCSC specification, AISC (8)c for more details)

With any tensioning method of making connections, it is important to install bolts in all
holes of the connection and bring them to a snug-tight condition to compact the joint.
Tightening should begin at the most rigidly fixed or stiffest point and progress toward the
free edges both in the initial snugging-up and in the final tightening.

Equipment consistency and reliability is dependent on assuring the joint is well


compacted and that all the bolts at a joint are in a snug-tight condition prior to the
application of the final required partial turn. It is critical that the element not turned in
tightening be prevented from rotating while the required degree of turn is applied to the
turned element.

a. Nut rotation is relative to bolt regardless of the element (nut or bolt) being turned. For bolts installed
by 1/2 turn and less, tolerance is ± 30°; for bolts installed by 2/3 turn and more, tolerance is ± 45°.
b. Applicable only on connection in which all materials within the grip of the bolt are steel.
c. No research has been performed by AISC to establish the turn-of-nut values for bolt lengths
exceeding 12 diameters. Therefore, the required rotation must be established by actual test in a
suitable tension measuring device that simulates conditions of solidly fitted steel.

4.1 Connecting the Pump


1. Thread hose into pump outlet. Use 1 1/2 wraps of
Teflon tape (or suitable thread sealant) on hose
fitting, leaving the first complete thread free of tape
to ensure that tape does not shed into hydraulic
system, causing damage. Trim loose ends.
2. Install a pressure gauge in-line from the pump for
added safety and better control.
3. Connect the hose(s) to your cylinder or tool.
NOTE: For single-acting cylinders, connect one
hose from the pump to the cylinder. For double-
Figure 3, Models P-462, P-464 acting cylinders, connect two hoses. Connect
one hose from the pressure port of the pump to
the pressure port of the cylinder. Connect another

These pumps provide 2-stage flow. Under no-load,
the pump operates in the high flow first stage for
rapid advance. When the load is contacted, the pump
automatically shifts to the second stage for building
pressure. For P-462 or P-464 models, when pump
pressure reaches approximately 200 psi [14 bar], you
must momentarily stop pumping and raise the handle
to shift to the high pressure stage. For P-802 or
P-842 models, when pump pressure reaches
approximately 400 psi [28 bar], you must momentarily
stop pumping and raise the handle to shift to the high
pressure stage. After the pump shifts, pumping takes
less effort.
Figure 7
NOTE: For best performance, operate pump handle
at moderate speed during the high flow first stage.
Rapid handle speed in the first stage will prevent the 5.5 Double-Acting Applications with 4-Way,
pump from delivering full volume of oil.

5.6 Relief Valve Adjustment
All pumps contain a factory set relief valve to prevent
over-pressurization of the system. Lower pressure
settings can be obtained. Contact your Authorized
Enerpac Service Center.

Pressure Drop Calculations:
Assembly:
To calculate the pressure drop of the filter assembly use the equation:

∆P Assembly = ∆P Housing + ∆P Element

Housing:
The housing curve is based on test results using mineral oil with a specific gravity of 0.86. Differential pressure increases
in proportion to specific gravity of applicable fluid. To adjust the housing ∆P for the fluid being used, use the equation:

Other Products from HYDAC’s Filtration Line
Filtration Solutions For Mobile Equipment
Although there is great diversity in mobile equipment designs, the common demand in
the industry for improved performance has resulted in systems growing in complexity
and cost. Precision hydraulic components – variable displacement pumps and motors,
load control valves, and proportional controls – are increasingly applied to enhance
machine power, speed and versatility. Higher operating pressures – in excess of 6,000
psi – are increasing in usage in order to generate higher force and torque from a smaller
and lighter package. As fluid power systems are built to function more precisely at
higher pressures, protection against wear and malfunction becomes vital. HYDAC’s
range of filtration products are designed to provide the necessary level of protection to
maintain the efficiency, useful life and safety of high performance fluid power systems.

PREFACE

This manual is provided for guidance to operate and maintain or


adjust the emergency disc brake caliper. This information has been
prepared with a basic viewpoint to give accurate and concise data
needed to perform minor adjustments as well as major overhauls.

This information is not elementary, as it is intended for operators


and servicemen who are familiar with drilling equipment in general.
It is not intended, nor would it be possible in such limited space,
to cover every possible condition that may be encountered. Always
use good, sound mechanical practices and safety precautions.

EXERCISE EXTREME SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND EMPLOY


SOUND MECHANICAL PRACTICES WHEN PERFORMING
INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE REPAIRS, OR WHEN OPERATING
THE EQUIPMENT. IT SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY UNDER
CONDITIONS FOR WHICH IT WAS INTENDED.

OPERATION

The NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO emergency caliper uses high capacity


springs inside the cylinder to generate force through the lever arms
to opposing friction pads on the disc. Hydraulic pressure is
required to release the caliper. The emergency brakes are set when
the hydraulic fluid is exhausted from them.

Operation of the emergency caliper depends on a hydraulic power unit


to provide the pressure required to release the brakes. An
intelligent system is also required to engage/disengage the
emergency calipers at the appropriate times.

Page 3
EPL-1825
MAINTENANCE

EMERGENCY BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY

Inspect the Emergency Brake Caliper Assemblies as indicated in the


Maintenance Schedule. Whenever the total gap between both pads and
the disc exceeds that shown in the Adjustment Specification, the
caliper assembly should be adjusted. Refer to Figure 1, included at
the end of this manual.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CALIPER CYLINDERS ARE SPRING LOADED.


LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WILL CAUSE THE EMERGENCY
BRAKE CYLINDERS TO CLOSE RAPIDLY, AND WITH GREAT FORCE. USE
EXTREME CARE WHILE ADJUSTING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

PAD WEAR INSPECTION

Inspect the pad gap with the emergency brake released. The total
gap can be measured by pushing one shoe of the caliper assembly
against the disc. The total gap can be measured between the
opposite shoe and the disc. Adjust the caliper assembly whenever
the total gap is greater than the maximum gap given in the
Adjustment Specifications.

Inspect the thickness of each brake pad when inspecting the Service
Brake Caliper Assemblies. Replace the pads when any portion of the
pad is thinner than the minimum thickness given in the Adjustment
Specification.

AN ADJUSTMENT EYE ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CYLINDER ALLOWS


FOR ADJUSTMENT OF PAD GAP. THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THE EYE CAN
EXTEND FROM THE ADJUSTING NUT IS GIVEN IN THE ADJUSTMENT
SPECIFICATIONS. REPLACE THE PADS WHENEVER THE EYE IS
EXTENDED BEYOND THE AMOUNT GIVEN IN THE ADJUSTMENT
SPECIFICATIONS.

PAD WEAR ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the caliper assembly whenever the total gap exceeds the
maximum given in the Adjustment Specifications. Adjust pad gap
while the brakes are released and the Emergency Brake Cylinder is
fully retracted (pressurized). Remove the lockwire from the four
1/2 inch capscrews in the end plate of the cylinder. Remove the
capscrews and the two adjusting nut locks from the cylinder. Rotate
the adjusting nut using a 1/2 inch diameter rod in any of the eight
holes on the outside of the adjusting nut. Adjust until the total
gap between both pads and the disc is as specified in the adjustment
specifications.

Check the amount that the back of the adjusting eye extends from the
face of the adjusting nut. If it exceeds the amount given in the
Adjustment Specifications the brake pads must be replaced.

If the amount the adjusting eye extends from the adjusting nut does
not exceed the adjustment specifications, then reinstall the
adjusting lock nuts. Reinstall the four 1/2 inch capscrews, tighten
and lockwire in place.

PAD REPLACEMENT

This procedure describes replacement of the pads for one caliper


assembly. Replace all Emergency Brake pads at the same time. Use
new hardware (screws and nuts) when a pad is replaced.

When replacing the pads, apply hydraulic pressure to the Emergency


Brake Cylinder to retract it. Use extreme care in handling the
spring-loaded cylinder. Remove the pull pins. Move the hydraulic
cylinder out of the way.

Remove the pull pins and pivot pins necessary to remove the brake
shoes from the caliper assembly. Remove the screws and nuts that
hold the pad to the shoe and dispose of them.

Use new hardware to replace the pad with one that has the same part
number shown in the Adjustment Specifications for the Service Brake
Caliper Assembly. Torque the pad nuts to 20-22 foot-pounds. After
one hour check the torque on nuts and retorque to 12 foot-pounds if
required.

Page 5
EPL-1825
MAINTENANCE (continued)

Inspect all brake components while removed for replacing the pad.

1. Pad wear should be even for all pads. If any pad or set of
pads shows excessive wear, investigate to find the cause.

2. Inspect pins and bushings for excessive wear and replace if


necessary.

3. Inspect all brake components for evidence of damage. Replace


any bent, cracked or damaged components.

Fill the two pockets in the bushings of each arm with grease. Apply
grease to all pivot pins and bushings. Reassemble the caliper
assembly. If the Emergency Brake Cylinder has been removed it must
be reinstalled with the 1/8-inch pipe plug at the top. Adjust each
caliper assembly for total pad gap as described in the Adjustment
Specifications.

EMERGENCY BRAKE CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CYLINDER IS UNDER COMPRESSED SPRING


FORCE. THE CYLINDER MUST BE RESTRAINED DURING DISASSEMBLY.

Refer to Figure 2 included at the end of this manual.

To disassemble the emergency brake cylinder, remove the cylinder


from the caliper assembly and place it with adjusting eye facing up.
Remove the adjusting eye, adjusting nut locks and adjusting nut from
the cylinder.

Remove the eight nuts from the rod studs on the cylinder. The
cylinder springs are under a high compressive force. Back off the
eight nuts as a group, turning each one only a small amount at a
time. Back off the nuts in a criss- cross pattern so that the nuts
on one side of the cylinder are not loosened ahead of the others.

Once the nuts are removed the spring compression is released and the
end plate may be lifted off the cylinder body.

EPL-1825
MAINTENANCE (continued)

EMERGENCY BRAKE CYLINDER REASSEMBLY

Prior to reassembly of the emergency brake cylinder the springs


should be NDE checked by a qualified Inspector. If a crack is
detected in a spring, the entire set should be replaced. Inspect the
threads on the eight tie rod studs. If the threads are damaged
replace the studs. Inspect all cylinder components and replace
those that are damaged.

If the studs have been removed from the end plate, lubricate the
threads, reinstall and torque to 105 ft-lbs (142 Nm)(Lub). Place
the end plate with the studs so that the studs face up. Lubricate
all seals with hydraulic fluid before installing them. Put the
cylinder shell on the end plate with the O- ring facing the end
plate. Install the piston and seal in the shell. Put both sets of
disc springs on the piston. The disc springs must be installed with
the dished sides of adjacent springs alternating as shown on the
cylinder assembly drawing. Grease the disc springs with a
molybdenum disulfide based grease prior to installation.

Place the other end plate on the cylinder body relative to the other
end plate as shown on the assembly drawing. Lubricate the threads on
the studs and install the eight nuts. Tighten the nuts as a group,
turning each one only a small amount at a time. Tighten the nuts in
a criss-cross pattern with a torque wrench and avoid tightening the
nuts more than 200 ft-lbs (270 Nm)(Lub). Torque the nuts to 200 ft-
lbs (270 Nm)(Lub) in a circular pattern after the end plate is
pulled into place. Reinstall the adjusting eye, adjusting nut, and
adjusting nut locks.

Reinstall the emergency brake cylinder, bleed the hydraulic lines,


and adjust the pad clearance.

LUBRICANT REQUIREMENTS

The disc springs in the Emergency Brake Cylinder should be


lubricated with molybdenum disulfide based grease prior to
reassembly whenever the cylinder has been disassembled.

Lubricate pivot shafts and bushings on caliper assembly components


with molybdenum disulfide grease. DO NOT USE A LUBRICANT CONTAINING
COPPER. Due to the dissimilar metals corrosion will occur that will
cause the shafts to be difficult to remove.

Page 7
EPL-1825
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Components should be inspected or serviced at the frequency listed
unless experience with the equipment under specific operating
conditions indicates the need for a shorter interval between
servicing. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature provided with the
equipment for a description of individual components.

DAILY

1. While operating the emergency brake, monitor the emergency


brake supply pressure to confirm adequate brake supply
pressure. If any system or supply pressure is not within 25
PSI of the Adjustment Specifications stop using the drawworks
brakes and determine the cause.

WEEKLY

1. Inspect Emergency Brake Caliper Assemblies for brake pad


standoff. Adjust if required. Replace pads if worn thickness
of pad is less than that given in the Adjustment
Specifications. Operate Emergency Brake to confirm smooth
operation of all components.

2. Inspect emergency brake cylinders and brake piping for any


evidence of leakage. Replace or repair if leakage exists.

3. With brakes released, adjust screw on brake shoe support to


prevent pads from dragging on the disc.

4. Apply one shot of grease to each Pivot Support Shaft. Clean


off any excess grease.

WHENEVER BRAKE PADS ARE REPLACED

1. Inspect caliper assemblies for bent, cracked or worn


components. Replace any damaged components.

2. Inspect pivot shafts on Emergency Caliper assembly components


with NDE procedures. Replace any part with crack-like
indications.

3. Lubricate pivot shafts and bushings on caliper assembly


components with molybdenum disulfide grease. DO NOT USE A
LUBRICANT CONTAINING COPPER. Due to the dissimilar metals
corrosion will occur that will cause the shafts to be difficult
to remove.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (continued)

ANNUALLY

Test the Emergency Cylinders by following the procedures below:


1. Release pressure on cylinders.

2. Disconnect the hydraulic supply hose to the Emergency


cylinders.

3. Connect a hydraulic hand pump, capable of producing 2100 PSI


(145 Bar), to one cylinder with an accurate pressure gauge in
the line. The hand pump should be filled with clean fluid of
the same type used in the brake system.

4. Pump the cylinder up until the pin on the live end of the
cylinder can be removed.

5. Block up under cylinder so plunger is free to move.

6. Release the pressure on cylinder and attach a magnetic base


dial indicator to cylinder end plate with the indicator button
resting on the end of the piston rod.

7. Pressure up on the cylinder to obtain readings at the following


points.

PRESSURE CYL. TO: TRAVEL SHOULD NOT EXCEED:


a) 1000 PSI (69 Bar) .332" (8.4 mm)
b) Release Pressure
c) 1400 PSI (97 Bar) .532" (13.5 mm)

8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 on the other Emergency Cylinders.

9. If any of these tests fail, proceed with Five Year replacement


of springs.

10. Remove all of the “Caliper Arm and Pivot Shafts”. Inspect for
excessive wear, bending or visible cracks.

11. Inspect all shafts and caliper arms with NDE procedures for
cracks. Any part with crack like indications must be replaced.
