Validation of horizontal auger drilling string assembly design based on dry bearings

详细

The authors identify some factors that govern energy input of borings removal from hole bottom to an unloading point using auger drilling string assembly. Of specific significance appears to be the factor of insufficient reliability of anchor gears and centering devices of the drilling string assembly, which makes continuous drilling impossible without permanent servicing. The article gives the analysis of bench testing data of bearings with antifriction filler for drilling string mounting groups to be serviced outside the areas of drill holes. The design solutions based on the investigation results and aimed to improve reliability of anchor gears and centering devices of an auger drilling string assembly are described.
