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
