- Rotatable Diamond Tool Assembly With Restricted Rotation Wear Control
A compressible element restricts free rotation during milling, while manual tip rotation redistributes wear and extends tool life.
- Indexed Rotary Tool Assembly for Controlled Wear Distribution
A compressible O-ring and indexing recesses limit free tip rotation while allowing azimuth changes that spread wear and extend tool life.
- Percussion Mole Ground-Loop Insertion Without Drilled Boreholes
A pressurized-fluid percussion mole installs geothermal ground loops in confined sites, cutting drilling cost, hole collapse, and caulking needs.
- Conical Braze Joint Geometry for Carbide-to-Steel Stress Control
Protrusions in an inverted conical braze seat control joint thickness, improving stress distribution and impact durability at the carbide-steel interface.
- Cutting Element Assembly With Locked Shank and Thermal Expansion Fit
A locked shank and thermal-expansion press fit stabilize drill-bit cutting elements, reducing delamination, fracture, and wear.
- Carbide Bolster Braze Joint Geometry for Impact Stress Control
Strategically placed protrusions set braze thickness in a carbide bolster joint, improving stress distribution and wear resistance under impact loads.
- Modular Auger Flight Assembly for Easy Repair and Lower Weight
Replaceable flight units and a releasable motor coupling cut auger weight while making broken sections easy to repair.
- Rotating Shield Assembly for Wear-Resistant Degradation Tools
A rotating shield, seal, and wear-resistant tip reduce debris damage and spread impact loads to extend degradation assembly life.
