API 304.8mm Tricone Roller Cone Drill Bits

Roller Cone Drilling Bits 

. Descriptions:

 Tungsten Carbide Insert (TCI) bits are are used middle to hard rock formation which offers a variety of carbide inserts such as spherically shaped inserts for very hard rock or conically shaped inserts for softer rock. The number of rows of inserts is directly related to the type of application and the size of hole to be drilled. here are also open and sealed bearings available as well as three types of shirttail protection to choose from. TCI stands for Tungsten Carbide Insert.

. Bearing Types

There are primarily three types of bearing designs used in tricone drilling bits:

• STANDARD OPEN BEARING ROLLER BIT:

On these bits the cones will spin freely. This type of bit has a front row of ball bearings and a back row of roller bearings.

• SEALED BEARING ROLLERS BITS

These bits have an O-Ring seal with a grease reservoir for bearing cooling. The seals acts as a barrier against mud and cuttings to protect the bearings

• JOURNAL BEARING ROLLER BITS

These bits are strictly oil/grease cooled with nose bearings, O-Ring seal and a race for maximum performance.
