M40 Short Bit-to-Bend Mud Lubricated Bearing Assembly
M40 Short Bit-to-Bend Mud Lubricated Bearing Assembly
M40 Mud Motor
Designed to Outlive. Destined to Outperform.
For years, the WZL M40 has been the short bit-to-bend, high-torque bearing assembly of choice for drillers who appreciate consistent, reliable performance.
Optimized geometry
- Maximized OD, enhanced mandrel ID
- Straightforward, compact bearing assembly for reliability and easy service
- Increased flow area and capacity
Fatigue resistance
- Double-start threads increase torque capacity
- Round housing threads greatly reduce stress concentration factor
- Tungsten-carbide armoured radial flow bearings (flow restrictors)
- Cold-rolled mandrel threads and shot peened components
