Rotary Tables
Rotary Tables
Rotary tables are essential components in drilling rigs, traditionally used to provide the rotational force needed to turn the drill string and drill bit. While top drive systems have gained popularity for many applications, rotary tables still play a significant role in various drilling operations, particularly in specific settings.
Product Introduction
- Rotary Table: The main structure mounted on the rig floor that provides the platform for the drill string. It rotates the drill string during drilling operations.
- Kelly: A square or hexagonal pipe that connects the rotary table to the drill string. It is inserted into the rotary table and turns with it.
- Slip and Elevators: Slips are devices used to grip the drill pipe and suspend it while the rotary table is in operation. Elevators are used to raise and lower the drill pipe.
- Drive Mechanism: Typically powered by electric or hydraulic motors that provide the necessary torque to rotate the table.
- Brake System: A safety feature that allows operators to stop the rotation of the rotary table quickly when needed.
