Would you run your vehicle without Shock Absorbers?

 

Similarly, Cushion or Shock Subs are the first line of protection for your drilling assets.

Vibration causes premature damage in all impact applications, particularly to drills and drilling equipment.

Impact cushioning can be particularly effective in autonomous drilling situations where pre-set parameters

do not always provide immediate response to critical formation changes.

Cushion Subs also remove direct force galling and cross threading risks associated with the making up of bits and other drill string components.

Because the Cushion Sub is designed to be front and centre in vibration dampening, it is essential the correct model is selected.

Rule of thumb selection for the most effective Cushion Sub to suit your drill’s circumstances,

is matching the drill pipe OD and Cushion Sub piston diameter as close as possible.

 

To extract the best total overall value from your Cushion Sub, our representatives can assist by recommending

the number of initial operating hours to first inspection and service.

The severity of the application measured in component wear, will determine a benchmark cycle time for refurbishment.

The refurbishing of the tool within specifications is a fraction of replacement cost when removed at appropriate service hour intervals.
