Maintainability - Mean time to repair (hrs), often associated with system manuals including, operation, maintenance schedule and spare parts list. Environment - Indicates the expected disturbance conditions that the system may encounter during operation within its life time including Thermal, Humidity, Shock and Vibration, Cleanliness and ...
Rotary table (#20) rotates, along with its constituent parts, the kelly and kelly bushing, the drill string and the attached tools and bit. Shale shaker (#2) separates drill cuttings from the drilling fluid before it is pumped back down the wellbore. Stand (#16) is a section of 2 or 3 joints of drill pipe connected and stood upright in the ...
Rotary transformers are often used instead of slip rings in high-speed or low-friction environments. [3] A slip ring can be used within a rotary union to function concurrently with the device, commonly referred to as a rotary joint. Slip rings do the same for electrical power and signal that rotary unions do for fluid media.
In this simple diagram of a drilling rig, #20 (in blue) is the rotary table. The kelly drive (#19) is inserted through the center of the rotary table and kelly bushings, and has free vertical (up & down) movement to allow downward force to be applied to the drill string, while the rotary table rotates it.
A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in a mechanical linkage used especially in transforming rotary motion into linear motion. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is often a part of a rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel) or shaft (e.g. a cylinder with an irregular shape) that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular path.
The exciter winding is located on the top; it is a coil of a turning (rotary) transformer. This rotary transformer induces current in the rotor without wires or brushes to provide a direct electrical connection. The two other windings are on the bottom, wound on a lamination.
A distribution substation transfers power from the transmission system to the distribution system of an area. [10] It is uneconomical to directly connect electricity consumers to the main transmission network, unless they use large amounts of power, so the distribution station reduces voltage to a level suitable for local distribution.
