Top Drive Bearing

The top drive systems turning drill strings atop today's platforms represent a major improvement over older drilling rig technologies. In part, top drive systems are enabling the use of extended-reach well bores and helping to reduce production costs.The supports the weight of the drill string, while simultaneously acting as a rotating passageway to permit drilling mud to flow into the drill string. The top drive, additionally, provides the torsional force needed to turn the drill string.

Our tapered roller bearings are engineered with profiled rollers and enhanced surface finishes that result in longer operational life. Top Drive and Swivel Bearings Forum provides a wide range of highly engineered thrust bearings specially designed to address the impact loading present in top drive and swivel applications.Our top drives are engineered and manufactured to API 8-C standards and carry the API monogram, setting the standard for safety, reliability and efficiency.
