3. PRESERVATION & INSTALLATION


3.1 Preservation
3.2 Installation

3.1 Preservation

Proper storage and preservation measures will help ensure the maximum design life for
the drawworks. Accessory items, spare parts, etc. shall be protected in accordance with
these guidelines.

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, is 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. Touch up the paint if necessary.
ƒ The equipment should be elevated some distance from the ground or floor. Enough
beams should be provided to give normal support to the equipment and 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, moisture must be prevented from contacting
the equipment. All equipment should be packed with heat-shrunk plastic or tarpaulin of
at least 0.15 mm thickness or crated. Ensure the integrity of the tarpaulin and/or
crating. Where storage temperature is not stable, sufficient sealing of the equipment
with tape and plastic sheet is recommended along with use of desiccant. Cable ends
are preserved with sealing tape or blanks. 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 are to be shipped with sufficient oil in order to minimize the
areas that may become exposed to condensation or corrosion.

3.2 Installation

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.
• Areas covered with corrosion preventative and surface protection coatings should be
steam-cleaned to remove the coating.
• Steam cleaning may wash away lubricants from pivot points and other moving
mechanical parts, so it is important to re-lubricate these areas.
• Also, painted areas 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
9108A017) and a power module (drawing 9108A012) 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 this manual for the torque guide.
¾ Torque down the skid connection bolts. Bolt item ‘E’ – refer to drawing
9108A017 (1462 ft-lbs).
¾ Install jackshaft to the drumshaft chain (item ‘B,’ drawing 9108A012) with the
master link.
¾ Re-install the drum sprocket guard.
Particular attention should be paid to the installation of the drum sprocket guard. Ensure that all
sealing surfaces are clean and dry prior to applying silicone sealant. Follow manufacturer’s
directions for silicone sealant application and curing times. Upon initial startup, ensure there are
no leaks from this area.

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

4.3 General Description

4.3.1 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 of a high
strength plate and 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. 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.
Photo: D3000AC Drawworks, View from Driller’s Side

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.

4.3.2 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 10 of manual.)

4.3.3 Shafting

All 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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 16

4.3.4 Brakes

The drawworks is equipped with a disc type braking


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

The disc brake system employs two discs, one disc

5.1 Pre-Starting Instructions

5.1 Pre-Starting Instructions

Make the following checks before initial starting of the drawworks:

1. Check oil sump and drawworks housing for presence of dirt or water. Drain and clean
if necessary.

2. Fill oil sump with S.A.E. 50 chain or engine oil for temperatures of 55 degrees
Fahrenheit or higher and S.A.E. 30 for 0 - 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and below 0
degrees, use oil with a pour point at least 5 degrees lower than the lowest ambient
temperature.

3. Grease all points equipped with alemite hydraulic grease fittings.

4. Motors - lubricate in accordance with instructions furnished by the manufacturer.

5. Check transmission oil pressure gauge on the control panel to be certain that oil
system is pressurized after the drawworks is in operation.

6. Check oil level in sump after the drawworks is in operation and add oil if necessary.

7. Remove plugs and covers from exhaust ports in quick release valves and ensure that
all are operating properly.

8. Install all safety guards.

9. Check end functions of all controls to make sure they are operating properly.

10. Replace GE motors locking bolts with the supplied bolting.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate drawworks with less than 110 psi air
pressure. Ensure that all lines and gauges are open and controls are
active.

WARNING: Disc temperature must be monitored during any


manual/emergency lowering operation. Lowering must stop
when the disc temperature reaches 100°C. Lowering the load
slowly will reduce the energy to be absorbed by the disc. Use
short steps instead of continuously lowering the load. If the disc
becomes too hot, the operation must stop until the disc has
cooled.

In the event of an emergency and power is lost to the hydraulic pump, the brakes
are released as follow:

1. Ensure the emergency bleed valve (H) is closed.


2. Ensure brake control valve handle (G) is fully lifted.
3. Ensure all six manual/remote valves (F) are in the remote position.
4. Open the emergency lowering valve isolation valve (N).
5. Pump system up to 3,000 psi using the hand pump.

NOTE: It may be desirable to close one accumulator


bottle to allow system to be charged faster.

6. Once 3,000 psi is achieved, flip all six remote/manual


valves (F) to manual.
NOTE: Remote/manual valve should be switched as
quickly as possible to limit the pressure lost due
to the switch over.

7. Brakes can now be released / engaged using the brake control valve (G).

CAUTION: Keep track of system pressure. If system pressure drops to 2,000 psi,
stop the lowering operation and recharge the system. Otherwise, at
approximately 1,500 psi, system pressure will drop to zero (0) and the
whole operation will have to be repeated starting at item (1).

6.3 Brake Caliper Delay System

With six calipers activated at the same time, light loads will be stopped quickly. Thus two
of the six calipers are equipped with a flow control valve (B) to slow the application of the
calipers. To set the flow controls, do the following:

1. Release brakes.
2. Close all flow controls
3. Engage brakes.
4. Open all flow controls 1/8 of a turn.
5. Release and engage brakes. Measure time
difference between non-flow control and
flow control calipers. Time difference should
be approximately one second.
6. If time is too fast, close flow controls 1/16
turn.
7. Repeat until a one second delay is Flow Control Valve
achieved.

Photo: D3000AC Flow Control Valve is located in the


Instrumentation Box.

NOTE: Adjusting the flow control to six full turns in from full open will give a delay of
approximately one second. This is approximate only and will vary
substantially with each caliper and each valve.

6.6 Drill Line Attachment to Drum

Refer to drawing 9108A012 and 9108A006 for these operations.

The drill line is attached to the drum with a line clamp and socket on the Off Driller’s Side
of the drum. The line clamp is held to the drum in the socket with two half clamps. Each
half clamp has two bolts; the line clamp has six studs.
To install the drill line onto the drum, do the following:

1. Push the drill line through the opening in Line Clamp


the drum side plate.
2. Attach the line clamp to the drill line,
leaving a 3” to 4” tail past the end of the
line clamp.
3. Torque the six studs to 455 ft/lbs.
4. Insert the line clamp into the drum
socket and install the two half clamps. 3” to 4” tail past the end
5. Torque the half clamp bolts to 112 ft/lbs. of the line clamp

6.7 Dead Wraps on the Drum

The D3000AC drawworks is designed to have a minimum of 7 dead wraps on the drum
when the traveling block is in the lowest position.

WARNING: Operating the drawworks with less than 7 dead wraps may result in
the drill line being pulled from the line clamp on the drum and
consequently an uncontrolled dropping of the traveling equipment
and load.

6.8 Crown Saver Reset Procedure

If the drawworks stops functioning due to the drill line tripping the toggle valve, reset the
crown saver in its normal operating position and de-energize “AP.”

6.9 Protective Measures

• Loss of hydraulic supply or electrical power will result in brake actuation.

• Contaminated pads or misadjusted calipers may result in loss of braking.

7.5 Hydraulic System
7.6 Sprockets and Clutch Hubs
7.7 Hub & Shaft Fits
7.8 Drawworks Repair Instructions
7.9 Major Repairs & Modifications

7.1 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 assembly or removal of parts ranging from 0.00 mm to 0.101 mm tight, heat to
approximately 204°C. For parts ranging from 0.127 mm to 0.254 mm tight, heat to
approximately 343°C.

7.2 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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 24

7.3 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.

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 at the same time increasing tension
on the pulling mechanism. DO NOT OVERHEAT! Maximum temperature: 125°C

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

7.4 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 on to prevent leaking. To remove a
spacer which is shrunk on a shaft, proceed in accordance with 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.

7.5 Hydraulic System

The brake hydraulic system requires that the oil cleanliness be maintained at an ISO
Level of 12/15/12 (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 32.
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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 25

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.

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 is 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.

7.6 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


Document No. 9108E006
Page 26

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


instructions for removing bearings (reference section 7.3). 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 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 the 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, 7.7.


Document No. 9108E006

7.7 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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 28

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. Therefore, for example, if a 0.0762 mm interference 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.

7.8 Drawworks Repair Instructions

General Information:

• It is important to safeguard against injury to personnel and damage to equipment by all


means. In all cases, use the proper tools and equipment, provide a safe working area,
and ensure all work pieces are adequately and correctly supported and/or blocked.
• Make sure all power to the drawworks (electricity, water, and air) is disconnected or
shut off before starting to disassemble.
• If the drawworks is to be lifted for an overhaul, use the lifting lugs that are provided on
the drawworks.
• 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.
• Make certain that when reassembling drawworks components, all of the covers are
properly sealed before they are installed.
• Be certain that 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.

Document No. 9108E006
Page 31

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 a 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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 32

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 a 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

In order 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

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).

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.

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 at
Upper Sight Glass 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
Lower Sight Glass 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.

Page 36

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 3 or 4 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 – National Emergency Disc Brakes Manual EPL-1424).
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 = 1500 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 (4 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.

C1 Inspect electrical wiring
C2 Inspect wireline, lubricate as necessary
C3 Check availability and condition of tools
C4 Grease fittings on brake calipers
C5 Remove and rotate all brake caliper pins
C6 Check oil nozzles spray pattern

C1 Inspect electrical wiring: visually inspect control system wiring in junction boxes and
instrument cabinets for cut wires, snags or other accidental damage. Unplug any
in-line disconnects, inspect for oxidation, moisture, and signs of arcing. Clean as
required and return to service.
C2 Check wire rope condition monthly. Also, check wirelines prior to use when they
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.
C4 Grease all accessible fittings on the brake caliper. If fittings are not accessible, the
greasing of these fittings should be performed at the bi-annual interval
(disassemble and clean levers and pins).
C5 Remove, clean and rotate all brake caliper pins. Check for cracks and/or wear.
Apply a molybdenum rich grease to all pins prior to reassembly. After reassembly
grease all pins equipped with grease zerks. Remove all excess grease from the

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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 42

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 the “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.

Direction of Travel

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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 43

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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 44

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 Oil SAE Gear Oil ISO AGMA
Degrees F 100 F
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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 45

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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 46

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.

Type C Use for speeds higher than Type B limits
*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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 47

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.
Document No. 9108E006
Page 48

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 that are not listed and cannot be solved, please 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:

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

Nut-Rotation from Snug-Tight Conditiona,b


Disposition of Outer Face of Bolted Parts
One face normal to bolt
Bolt Length axis and other sloped Both faces sloped no more
(under side of Both faces no more than 1:20 than 1:20 from normal to the
head to end of normal to (beveled washer not bolt axis

Over 4 diameters

but not exceeding 2/3 turn 5/6 turn 1 turn
12c diameters

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.

4.0 INSTALLATION

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

away from the line of force of the handle.
NOTE: To reduce handle effort at high pressure, take
short strokes. Maximum leverage is obtained in the
last 5° of stroke.

5.2 Using Two-Speed Pumps


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.

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.

2 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Preparation / configuration

The drawworks control system has to be set up before the machine is ready to be used.
Most configuration data has been set up during commissioning. Configuration data other
than those listed below has to be changed by an NOI service engineer.

Setup screen

This screen is a sub-page of the drawworks screen.

2.1.1 Block position

This procedure can also be found by pressing the “i”-button “Block Positioning Setup”.

Before the drawworks can be used the following parameters has to be set:
- Number of lines strung
- Reset of layer shift from layer 1 to 2 on the drawworks drum
- Reference height for the topdrive
- Reset of zero block position (floor height)
In order to set any of these parameters, the park brake must be on.

These settings have to be reconfigured if the wire has been replaced or a “Slip
and Cut”-operation has been executed. It is also necessary to do this if the PLC
memory has been reset. It is important to be accurate in order to ensure that the
positioning system works and that the floor- and crown-saver functions correctly.

2.1.1.1 Reset of layer shift from layer 1 to 2

Proceed with the following procedure in order to reset the layer shift from layer 1 to 2:

1. Position the block where the wire on the drum transits from layer 1 to 2.
2. Set the park brake on.
3. Press reset “Layer Shift 1 to 2”.
4. Lower the topdrive to a wanted position. This position is normally as close to the
drill floor as possible. Set the park brake on and measure the distance from a
known reference point on the topdrive. Update the “TD Reference Height”. See
below for information when this is needed.
5. Execute procedure for reset of floor height. See chapter 2.1.1.2.

It is important that the layer shift configuration is correct. Speed and safety-
functions are based upon this.

Point 4 has only to be done if the wire has been replaced or after a “Slip & Cut”-
operation. It also has to be done if the PLC memory has been reset or lost.

Reset of layer shift defines for the control system the angle on the drum. All calculations
are based upon this angle.

2.1.1.2 Reset of floor height

The floor height is used for calculating the floor saver activation point.

Proceed with the following procedure in order to reset the floor height:

1. Position the block where the lowest point on the top drive or elevator is right
above floor level. It is also possible to place the block at a higher position if
desired.
2. Set the park brake on.
3. Press reset “Zero Block Position”.
4. Release the park brake.
5. Hoist the block about 3 meters / 10 feet.
6. Lower the block to see that the floor saver stops the block above the level chosen
in point 1. A safety margin is added to the floor saver in order to ensure that the
block will stop.

2.1.2 Limits

Maximum speed and overpull settings are not included.

2.1.3 Autodriller limits

Autodriller is not included.

2.1.4 Hook load source

The operator can choose between using the deadline anchor- and the travelling block
transmitters.

If the deadline anchor is used, it is possible to set a filter value on the measured signal
ranging between 0 and 20 seconds. A higher filter time will make the signal more robust
against rapid fluctuations in the measured signal. The filter only affects the value
displayed in the Cyberbase operator station, not the weight used by the control system.

2.3 Main components of the drawworks

The drawworks consist of the following main elements:


- Drawworks mechanical parts with AC-motors, low and high clutch, disc brakes
and emergency lowering system.
- Cooling blowers for the drawworks motors.
- Lubrication system for the drawworks.
- Drawworks control system
- Interface to operator stations and other PLC’s.

The drawworks is run by the VSDS system and operated from the operator station in the
driller’s cabin. It communicates to these systems through communication network links.

Please look in reference /1/ for information regarding the drawworks mechanical parts.

2.3.1 Braking systems

2.3.1.1 Main braking system

Normal braking when lowering is achieved by use of regenerative braking using the AC-
motors and the VSDS as a generator, hence feeding the energy from the braking into
the resistor system.

2.3.1.2 Disc brakes

The disc brakes are designed as park brake and emergency stop brake. The drum has
two direct mounted discs. Each disc is equipped with multiple braking calipers. The
calipers are spring applied, and are deactivated by use of hydraulic pressure, thus
making the system fail safe.

The braking capacity is 200% of maximum designed static torque. Since the disc brakes
are not designed for dynamic braking (except for an emergency situation), the discs
have to cool down to below 158 F (70ºC) after an emergency stop before the operation
can continue. The temperature should be measured using a hand instrument as a laser
temperature meter or equivalent.

The disc brake system consists of a brake system A and brake system B. Each of these
systems will set half of the calipers. Each system has a capacity of 100% of the nominal
braking capacity. Separate return lines are provided for each system to ensure fail-safe
operation of the disc brakes.

Normal park brake activation from the operator station will set either brake system A or
brake system B. These are alternated each time the park brakes are set.When the
drawworks is switched off, both system A and B will be set.

2.4 Starting procedure

1. Select the correct operator mode on the Cyberbase.


2. Press “DW On” and confirm in order to turn the machine on. All auxiliary
equipment then starts and makes the machine ready for operation.
3. Ensure that all auxiliary equipment is running and that no low hydraulic pressure
or low lube oil pressure alarms are active.
4. When the “Clutch Lo” or “Clutch Hi” buttons comes available, press either one of
them and press confirm. This selects which clutch the operator desires to use.
5. When the “DW Park” button comes available, press it followed by confirm. Doing
this will torque up the motors followed by the release of the park brake. It is now
possible to hoist and lower the block.
6. Run past the reference proximity switch with the block to ensure that the
positioning system is healthy.
7. The drawworks is now ready for operation.

2.5 Normal operation

Manual operation of the drawworks is available as soon as the start procedure has been
done. The block can then be hoisted and lowered with maximum speed, only limited by
the joystick displacement and available power for acceleration and deceleration. For
safety reasons, some alarm situations will also limit the speed or inhibit running in one
of the directions.

2.5.1 Clutch change

The clutch can be changed as soon as the park brake is set. Press the desired clutch
followed by confirm, and release the brake again to run with the desired clutch.

2.5.2 Weight on bit

In order to reset the weight on bit monitoring, hold the drill string right above the bottom
of the drilled hole. Then press “Zero WOB” followed by confirm. The weight on the bit is
then calculated by subtracting actual hook load from the stored weight value. If
changing between deadline anchor and travelling block hook load monitoring, the
weight on bit should be reset.

2.5.3 Crown saver

The purpose of the crown saver is to prevent the block from being hoisted into the
crown by an accident. If the block is hoisted above a predefined upper warning height,
the maximum speed will be reduced. If it is desired to hoist the block above the upper
stop proximity switch, it must be overridden.

By pushing the “Crown Saver O/R”-button the crownomatic function will be reset /
inhibited.

To override the crown saver:


1. Push and hold the “Crown Saver O/R”-button to activate the crown saver override
function.
2. It is now possible to run past the upper stop proximity switch in slow speed.
3. Release the “Crown Saver O/R”-button to deactivate the function again.

Be aware that using this function means that there is no automatic braking /
stopping when moving upwards.

2.5.4 Floor saver

The floor saver function works together with the power management system. The power
management system calculates the required braking distance based on block speed,
hook load, position and available braking power.

In order to lower the block below the floor saver the slow speed function has to be used.

The activation point for the floor saver is based on the calculated stop length in
reference to drill floor.

The anti collision system, if present, will at any time have control over machines which
can enter the working area for the drawworks. The floor height will then be corrected to
the top of the machine which is inside the drawworks working area.

2.5.5 Slow speed

Low block speed can be achieved by holding the joystick to the left and at the same
time give a speed command by pushing the joystick either forward or backward. The
speed will then be reduced to a maximum of 10% of the maximum allowed block speed.

2.6 Slip & cut

In order to do a slip & cut operation the block must first be hung off. Then the machine
has to be shut down and slip & cut mode selected in the Cyberbase operator screen.

The positioning system will during slip & cut mode be inhibited. Remember therefore to
recalibrate the block position. The single line pull also has to be considerably low in
order to activate the mode.

2.7 Brake system safety and performance testing

The control system has a feature for easy brake capacity testing. This feature should be
used when new brake pads are installed, prior to handling of high loads and also at
regular intervals during the operation. The testing can be done without hanging off the
block.

The brake test is developed for quick, repeatable and accurate determination of the
brake caliper capacity. The test is initiated manually, but the sequence is PLC
controlled. During the test, the motors are gradually torqued up in steps against
activated calipers (one calliper or calliper pair at the time). If the brakes slip, the torque
is logged and a brake pad percentage capacity is presented.

A passed / failed result is given for each caliper / caliper pair. This is an indication
whether the brake capacity is in accordance with the design criteria for the brake pads.
100 % equals the minimum pass value for each test.

When all callipers are tested, the overall braking capacity is given as the equivalent
hook load for each brake set and total with both brake sets active.

IMPORTANT:
System A and B are alternated by the PLC control system each time the brakes are set.
Both system A and system B must be able to hold the load.

The actual braking force for each caliper is depending on several conditions when
mounted on the Drawworks:

1. Air gap between brake pad and disc when fully released. Increased air gap reduces
the clamping force. Refer also to brake manufacturer maintenance manual as
incorporated in “User Manual Drawworks mechanical parts”, ref. document no. /1/.

2. Coefficient of friction. This factor is strongly depending on the cleanliness of the


brake disc and the brake pads. Contamination from hydraulic oil and lubricant (wire
lube, grease etc.) will strongly reduce this coefficient and thereby reduce the braking
force. Glazing of the brake pads, i.e. the brake pad material is heated and a
hardened film of brake pad material is deposited on the pad, will also lower the
coefficient of friction and reduce the braking capacity.

Document number S0100268-OPM-200
Revision 01
Page 21

3. Brake burning. The pads delivered together with the Drawworks are burned in to
achieve a braking force equal to or better than the design criteria as described
below. Some pads might be better than other pads depending on the burning in.
When purchasing new pads, these will have to be burned in on the vessel.

2.7.1 Brake capacity test procedure

1. Secure the hook load in the slips so that it is only the weight of the top drive in the
hook.
2. Hoist the travelling block between 6.6 ft or 2 meter and 16.4 ft or 5 meter above the
drill floor.
3. Park the Drawworks. Switch to ‘Test/Exception Mode’ display.
4. Turn the mode selector switch in the Drawworks control panel to Test position.
Select “Brake Test” on the “Test / Exception” screen and start the drawworks and
release the brakes as normal.
5. Activate the “Act Test” button followed by Confirm on the keypad. (This will disable
the normal drawworks operation and start the automatic sequence). Note: The test
can be aborted by activating the Joystick to the left at any time during the automatic
sequence.
6. The control system will now check that the block is located at safe distance from
floor and crown. It will also check that there is no load in the hook except for the top
drive and that there is enough motors available to fulfil the test. The ‘Brake Test
Aborted‘ and ‘Block Too Low/High’, ‘Block Weight Too High’ or ‘Not Enough Motors
Available’ indicators will be activated if any of these parameters are outside the
preset limits in the PLC.
7. Verify that the “Brake Test On” and “Brake Test Active” indicators are activated on
the operator station. This will start the automatic test sequence as follows.
8. All brakes are released and the mean torque value representing the force from the
external load is recorded by the PLC.
9. The motors are torqued up in steps for each caliper pair until the calliper slips or
reaches a value well above the pass value. Each step will be held for approx. 2
seconds giving a test time of approx. a minute for each caliper pair. The motors are
only applying torque to simulate a down ward force. For each caliper pair, an
appurtenant lamp will indicate status of the test and an Actual Torque value will be
increased gradually.
10. If the brake calipers do not slip before the passed value is reached, the Passed
indication will be activated and the actual Brake capacity in percent will be shown on
the screen.
11. If the brake calipers slip (motor turning 1/8 revolution) before the passed value is
reached during one of the caliper tests the movement of the drum will stop. The
Failed indication will be activated and the actual Brake capacity in percent will be
shown on the screen.
12. The test continues with the remaining calipers until all calipers are tested.
13. If parts of the test are not completed or aborted by the operator, the “Brake Test
Aborted” indicator will be activated and there will not be presented a final Weight
capacity.

14. When done, set the drawworks brakes from the keypad and turn off the drawworks.
15. Ensure that the “Brake test active” and “Test Mode On” indicators are deactivated.
16. Turn the Mode selector Switch to “operation” in the Drawworks control panel.

NOTE!
If the calipers have a capacity less than the pass value, the brake capacity is lower than
the design criterion and maintenance should be done to increase the capacity.

2.8 Brake burning procedure

Refer also to brake manufacturer maintenance manual as incorporated in “User Manual


drawworks mechanical parts”, document ref. /1/.

WARNING:
"When working in drum area with drill line attached to the drum, lock out the drawworks
AC-drives".

NOTES:
• Only one caliper or linked pair of calipers can be burnt at the same time.
• If changing pad or caliper or disassembling the caliper, ensure that an air gap check
is done before performing the brake capacity test or continuing operation.

Brake burning procedure:


1. Hang off travelling block from the hang off line.
2. Remove the drill line from the drum.
3. Clean the brake discs with white spirit and thereafter with thinner or trichloretylene
prior to inserting any new pads. Install new pads according to the procedure in the
maintenance manual.
4. Park the Drawworks.
5. Ensure that all manual / remote valves are in REMOTE position. Refer to the sign
located inside the drum area for selection of correct valves.
6. Install/extend, unlatch and pin the handle on the “EMERGENCY LOWERING” valve.
7. Close the “EMERGENCY DUMP” valve.
8. Put the two (2) MANUAL / REMOTE valves on the pair of calipers to be burned
(bedded) in the MANUAL position. Refer to the sign located inside the drum area for
selection of correct valves and further instructions.
9. Switch the Test mode switch in the Drawworks Control Panel to ON.
10. Start the Drawworks and Release the Brakes as normal, Ensure the hydraulic supply
pressure is approx 3000 psi,
11. Select the “Test Mode” display
12. Select “Brake Burning”
13. Select the caliper pair to be burned in. Ensure that this is consistent with the manual
operation on the Drawworks.
14. Activate the “Act Test” button followed by Confirm on the Keypad (this will disable
normal Drawworks operation, over-ride brake alarms and disengage the calipers not
selected). Verify that the “Test Mode On” indicator is activated.
15. Pull down on the “EMERGENCY LOWERING” valve to release the caliper pair to be
burned from the brake disc.

16. Activate the joystick to rotate the drum (speed is adjustable and limited to 10 RPM
on the drum and motor torque limit is set to 1000 Nm (740 ftlbs)
17. Slowly raise the handle of the “EMERGENCY LOWERING” valve to reduce the
pressure on the caliper pair. The pressure should be held between 400 and 600 psi
depending on the number of callipers on the set that should be burned in (two sets
have one caliper and two sets have two calipers). If the rotation stops the pressure
needs to be adjusted to stay within the available motor torque.
18. Monitor the brake disc temperature with an infrared temperature sensor (or
equivalent. Burn the brake until the disc temperature reaches 212° F or 100°
Celsius.
19. Once the disc reaches 212° F or 100° Celsius pull down on the “EMERGENCY
LOWERING” valve to fully disengage the disc caliper from the disc.
20. Select “Disc Cooling” to disengage all calipers.
21. Raise the handle on the “EMERGENCY LOWERING” valve and ensure that the
calipers remain disengaged from the disc.
22. Continue to rotate the drum and spray clean fresh water (no soaps, detergents,
softeners, salts, oils, etc) onto both sides of the heated disc to cool it down to
approximately 77° F or 25° Celsius.
23. Deselect “Disc Cooling” to engage selected caliper and repeat steps 13 thru 22 until
the caliper pair has been burned 4 times total.
24. After the caliper pair has been burned in and the disc has been cooled down to 25
degrees Celsius, stop rotating the drum. Select next Caliper pair (REMEMBER the
Manual operation on the Drawworks) and repeat the procedure.
25. Raise the handle on the “EMERGENCY LOWERING” valve and allow the caliper
pair to engage the brake disc.
26. Deselect the “Act. Test” button to disable the test mode.
27. Select the “No Test Mode”.
28. Switch the MANUAL / REMOTE valve for the caliper pair to the REMOTE position.
29. Perform an automatic brake capacity test according to the procedure.
30. If the caliper pair capacity is insufficient burn the caliper pair 2 more times and then
retest the capacity.
31. If the caliper pair capacity is adequate remove/retract, latch and pin the handle on
the “EMERGENCY LOWERING” valve.
32. Open the “EMERGENCY DUMP” valve.
33. Release the joystick and apply the brake when the complete procedure is finished.
34. Verify that the “Brakes are set” from the MMI display.
35. Switch the Test mode switch in the Drawworks Control Panel to OFF.
36. Ensure that the “Brake burning”, “Brake Test On” and “Test Mode On” indicators are
off, that the “Act Test” button is disengaged, that the brakes are set and no alarms
are active.
37. Reattach the drill line to the drum.
38. Hoist the travelling block and disconnect from the hang off rigging.

NOTE:
It is possible to burn in one caliper by itself. To do this it is necessary to disconnect one
end of the brake cylinder from the caliper arm by removing the pin shown below

www.natoil.com
Document number S0100268-OPM-200
Revision 01
Page 24

Brake calliper sketch

Removing this pin will allow the other caliper in the pair to be burnt in by itself. Thus it is
possible, if necessary, to burn in each caliper individually.

2.9 Stop procedures

A normal stop of the machine is done from the Cyberbase operator station.

1. Let go of the joystick if the park brake is off. Wait until the block is at standstill.
Press then “DW Park” followed by confirm in order to set the park brake.
2. When the park brake is set the machine can be turned off by pressing “DW
On” followed by confirm.

2.10 Emergency stop procedures

In addition to the common emergency stop system, an emergency stop mushroom


switch is provided for installation adjacent to the drawworks. The emergency stop
system is a hardwired system. By activating the emergency stop, the disc brakes will
immediately engage, a shut down signal will be given to the VSDS system to stop the
drawworks motors and the auxiliary equipment will be shut down as normal by the
drawworks control system.

2.11 Start after an emergency stop

Pull out the activated emergency stop button and verify that the machine has no
mechanical damage as a result of the emergency stop situation. Start the machine
again by following the procedure in chapter 2.4.

3 SAFETY FUNCTIONS

The drawworks control system is designed to provide enhanced safety and integrity for
the operation, machinery, and the personnel onboard the platform. This is achieved by
an active control philosophy with equipment self-checks and monitoring, and by use of
duplicated critical equipment such as duplicated brake discs, hydraulic pumps and
encoders and by interface to other machines/systems to avoid collision or equipment
damage.

The primary safety requirement for the drawworks is that ‘one single point of failure shall
not cause any hazardous condition leading to either personnel injury or any damage to
the equipment’.

3.1 Interlock with other machines

There is an interlock against the top drive. When the top drive is in a “Make up-“ or
“Brake out”-sequence it is not possible to hoist or lower the block.

Revision 01
Page 26

3.2 Shutdown logic

The drawworks is equipped with many devices for monitoring of the drawworks and
related equipment conditions. A failure on simple devices that does not influence the
safety of the equipment or people on board will normally only give alarms on the
operator station screen. Other, more critical failures, will result in different actions from
the control system depending on which operational mode is active, combined with
continued warning to the driller as described below.

1) Alarms leading to reduced speed (slow speed)


2) Alarms leading to shutdown of the machine in a normal manner, i.e. speed ramped
down to zero and brakes set.
3) Alarms leading to activation of the Emergency brakes

OPERATION

The NATIONAL OILWELL 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-1424
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.

! WARNING !

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.

! CAUTION !

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.

EPL-1424
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 less than that
given 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.

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.

Page 5
EPL-1424
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

! WARNING !

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.

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.
Page 6
EPL-1424
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-1424
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.

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.

Page 8
EPL-1424
ANNUALLY

Test the Emergency Cylinders by following the procedures listed


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 BE;


a) 900 PSI (62.1 Bars) .256" ? .030"(6.50mm ? .76mm)
b) Release Pressure
c) 1025 PSI (70.7 Bar) .326" ? .030"(8.28mm ? .76mm)
d) Release Pressure
e) 1270 PSI (87.6 Bars) .465" ? .030"(11.81mm ? .76mm)
f) Release Pressure
g) 1400 PSI (96.5 Bars) .542" ? .030"(13.77mm ? .76mm)

8. If any of these test fail, proceed with Five Year replacement


of springs.

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

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.

12. Inspect Caliper Support Arms for cracks with NDE procedures.
Check for worn holes where the caliper support shafts go
through.
Page 9
EPL-1424
Every Five Years

1. The Emergency Cylinders should be disassembled per


instructions in the maintenance section and all springs and
seals replaced with new parts.

2. Perform pressure test per number 7 in Annual inspection


above.

POWER SUPPLY & CONNECTIONS


1. Wiring of motor and control, overload protection and grounding should be in accordance
with National Electrical Code and all local safety requirements.
2. Nameplate voltage and frequency should agree with power supply. Motor will operate
satisfactorily on line voltage within –10% of nameplate voltage; or frequency with –5% and
with a combined variation not to exceed –10%. 230-volt motors can be used on 208-volt
network systems, but with slightly modified performance characteristics as shown on the
nameplate.
3. Dual voltage and single voltage motors can be connected for the desired voltage by
following connection diagram shown on the nameplate or inside of the conduit box.
4. All Explosion Proof motors have Temperature Limiting Devices in the motor enclosure to
prevent excessive external surface temperature of the motor in accordance with U/L
standards. Terminals of thermal protectors (P1 & P2) should be connected to the motor
control equipment, according to the connection diagram inside of the conduit box.
5. Standard connection diagram for three phase, not thermally protected, dual rotation motors
are shown in diagrams A through E.

*Important: For Part Winding Start, M2 contactor should be closed within two (2) seconds
after M1 contactor is closed.
Only 4 pole and above (e.g., 6P, 8P ) motors are satisfactory for Part Winding
Start at low voltage.

START UP
1. Disconnect load and start motor. Check direction of rotation. If rotation must be changed,
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO STOP COMPLETLEY. Interchange any two leads of a three-
phase motor.
2. Connect load. The motor should start quickly and run smoothly. If no, shut power off at
once. Recheck the assembly including all connections before restarting.
3. If excessive vibration is noted, check for loose mounting bolts too flexible motor support
structure or transmitted vibration from adjacent machinery. Periodic vibration checks
should be made; foundations often settle.
4. Operate under load for short period of time and check operating current against nameplate.

TESTING
If the motor has been in storage for an extensive period or has been subjected to adverse
moisture conditions, it is best to check the insulation resistance of the stator winding with a
megometer. Depending on the length and conditions of storage it may be necessary to
regrease or change rusted bearings.
If the resistance is lower than one megohm the windings should be dried in one of the following
two ways:
1. Bake in oven at temperatures not exceeding 194¡F until insulation resistance becomes
constant.
2. With rotor locked, apply low voltage and gradually increase the current through windings
until temperature measured with a thermometer reaches 194¡F. Do not exceed this
temperature.
MAINTENANCE
INSPECTION
Inspect motor at regular intervals. Keep motor clean and ventilation openings clear.

LUBRICATION
1. Frame 143T-256T: Double shielded and pre-lubricated ball-bearing motors without grease
fittings and don t need relubrication, except on MAX-E1¤ and MAX-E2¤ products which
have regreasable features.
2. Frames 280TS, 320-449TZ(TS): Motors having grease fittings and grease discharge
devices at brackets. Motors are shipped with grease for initial running. It is necessary to
relubricate anti-friction bearing motors periodically, depending on size and type of service.
See Table 2 to provide maximum bearing life. Excessive or too frequent lubrication may
damage the motor.

ambient conditions.
B. Severe conditions: 24-hour operation per day or light shock loading, vibration or in dirty
or dusty conditions.
C. Extreme conditions: With heavy shock loading or vibration or dusty conditions.
D. For double shielded bearings, above data (lubrication frequency) means that the
bearing must be replaced.

3. Be sure fittings are clean and free from dirt. Using a low-pressure grease gun, pump in the
recommended grease until new grease appears at grease discharge hole.
4. Use the ALVANIA R3 grease or equivalent lithium based grease unless special grease is
specified on the nameplate.
5. If relubrication is to be performed with the motor running, stay clear of rotating parts. After
regreasing, allow the motor to run for ten to thirty minutes.
RENEWAL PARTS
1. Use only genuine TECO-Westinghouse renewal parts or as recommended by TECO-
Westinghouse Motor Company.
2. When you order renewal parts please specify complete information to TECO-Westinghouse
