CONTINUED ‘The main bearing completely supports the turn able and its drill-string load. This beating has f& stength factor well over the rated capacity of the rotary and provides a centering effect for the turntable because of the angular contact between the ball bearing and its races. A large-flanged, special alloy. bronze hold. dowa ring bushing Tig. 1 (tem 9) is located Tow in the base, and serves asa steadying bearing, It also absorbs upward thrusts devel- oped through the curncable. ‘Two steel castings comprise che hold-down ring. assembly; first, an oil retainer bolted co the base ‘and second, a hold-down ring bolted t, and rotating with the rotary A lip ac the top of the rotating hold-down ring overlaps the stationary retainer ting, to provide he oil retutn to the oil reservoir in the base and prevents the escape of any oil from the oilbath Labyrinth seals, at both top and bottom of the turntable, protect the oilbath from contamination from outside foreign matter. In addition, a flexible sealing ring ataached 0 the bottom of the hold-dowa ting, prevents mud from entering the system in case of a well kick or 2 blow out. ‘The Tlexible lip of this ring beads upward under the force of a stream of mud, forming, an effective seal. The caststeel tumtable Fig. 1 (Item 22) is rotated by the pinion shaft through a ring geat ‘and pinion-system, and caries the weight of ehe dei seeing.

General A permanent record should be made of the dats furnished on the nameplate of cach newly purchased rotary. This nameplate is attached to the inside of the door above the filler cap. As a further protection, in the event the name- plate is lost, the serial number of the rotary is Stamped into the hinged door undemeath the ‘nameplate. B. “Before Operation” Check 1. Moisture caused by condensation will some times accumulate in the base of the rotary during storage or shipment from the plant Therefore, before operatiag a new rotary, of one that has been stored, it is necessary to remove the oil-deain pipe plug Fig. 4 located in the base to allow all moisture to drain from the rotary 2. Reinstall the oil-drain pipe plug and fill the reservoir with the correct amount and quality of oil for the particular cotary (see 1D. SECTION U), 3. Check grease lubrication on inner and outer pinion-shaft bearing according to Section Ill, paragraph E 4. Rotate the turntable one complete revolution by hand to make sure st tains freely 5. The position of the drive sprocket on the pinion shaft can be shifted several inches before it is keyed ip place. This permits accurate alignment with the driving sprocket of the draw works. 6. The distance from centerline rotary to center line drive sprocker is-as follow For the SA 17-1/2 Rotary 44 inches, for the LA 17-12 Rotary 55-1 4 inches, for the A20-1/2 Rotary 53-14 inches, for the AY7-1/2 Rotary 53-1 4 inches for the A37-1 2 Rotary S314 inches After checking our these points, the rotary is now ready to be placed in operation LUBRICATION Section III General As with any machinery unit, 2 prime cequisice for securing maximum performance from Oilwell Rotaries is to provide proper lubrication of all working surfaces. Careful and periodic checks of the oilbath system and the geease-packed bearings will repay the operator many’ times with dependable, economical service. Oilbeth System See Figure No. 1 Gilwell Rotaries employ a circulating oll bath system for the gears, turntable bearing and hold down-ring bushing. The base of the rotary foums an wil reservoit which partly surcounds the turntable. The rotating plnioa, dipping into the reservoir carries vil to the ring-gear, from which it drips continuously co the. wamtable ball bearing, guided by a trough. From the turntable ball bearing the oil flows down over the face of the hold-down-ring bushing. The cop of this bushing is beveled, sloping dowaward and away from the working’ surface, so that a pocket is formed which acts as a dirt trap into Which forcign matter settles out of the oil hefore the oil flows down the face of che tum table bushing by the hold-down-ring. The oil, flowing between these «wo surfaces of (a) the bushing and the curable and (b) the bushing and the hold-down-ring, provides an effective cushion against shock. "The hold-down-ring Serves a dual purpose. In addition to count= enacting upward thease, it forms a cylindrical container, the top of which is higher than the oilbath reservoir level. [ts top overlaps the Stationary oil-retainer ting. Oil is thrown out of the hold-down-ring and bushing by centrilugal force and flows over the hold-down-ring and oil- retainer ting co re-enter the oilbath reservoir This complete sequence, of course, is carried cout continuously around the entire circumference Of the rotLUBRICATION ae 4 FIGURE NO. 4 LUBRICATION POINTS.

This assures A dipstick type oil-level gauge is attached to the oil filler cap Fig. 4 (Item 8). To check the oil level, the rotary must be stopped. Remove the oil level gauge, wipe dry and screw com- pletely into the base, Unscrew and note the il mark on the stick. Oil level should be kepe beween the high and low markings. If the rotary is used to deill a sat hole, the oil level should be checked after the rotary is, placed over the well and any oil lost because of the tilting of the rotary should be replaced located on the bearing housing. ample initial lubrication for the inner and the outer bearing housing oil seal.

ASSEMBLING AND SERVICING THE ROTARY Section VI Before beginning assembly of the rotary, thor oughly clean all parts with kerosene or some other solvent. The interior of the base should be washed and all traces of mud and foreign matter removed, The bearing and gear scat Should be thoroughly cleaned, as the presence of dict will result in improper bearing fit and adjustment. B, Pinion-Shoft Package Assembly See Figure No. 3 The inner beatings on the pinion-shaft are non adjustable double tapered and the outer one {item 9) is of the spherical, self-aligning cype. Should it become necessary to install new bearings on the pinion shaft, remove first all rough spots at the bearing seat. Any abrasion here will interfere with the installation of the beariags. Then beginaing by working from the pinion end of the shaft the procedure listed here should be followed: 1. Shtink the inner-bearing (Item 6) onto the shaft by first heating one inner race of this tworow bearing and its spacer in oil 0 2500 F. When working quickly, the expansion will allow easy slip-on of face and spacer on the Shaft. After cooling in position, they will be seated tightly Special care should be taken, that the incline of the rollers on the inner saces point in the Fightdirection when the races are slipped over the shafe Next heat the second inner race in the same manner as the first. But before sliding in place, bring the bearing-cep over the shaft Thea’ slip the heated inner race onto its seat. This also positions the cup correctly Shrink the outer bearing and spacer (Items 9-& 13) to the shaft, working according 10 the procedure as outlined under 1 The pinioa-shaft with the bearings in place is now ready for installation in the beating- housing (earteidge), (Item 8). ‘This housing (Item 8) should be inspected for smooth bores and proper fits on the bearing-seats. All. geease-passages should be open and the entire inside of the housing clean and free from old grease. With the outer fing-seal-retainer (Item 11) in place the housing is now teady for installation of the pinion-shafe-assembly . Slide pinion shaft assembly into housing (em 8), Slip bearing-retainer (Item 4) and gasket (rem 5) in place and secure with capserews (tems 15 & 16).
