360-Degree Rotating Bucking Unit
What is a 360-Degree Rotating Bucking Machine?
- A 360-degree rotating bucking machine, also referred to as a bucking unit, is a specialized hydraulic equipment designed to make up (assemble) or break out (disassemble) threaded connections in drilling tools, casings, tubing, and other downhole tools.
- The 360-degree feature means the machine can rotate the component it is working on a full 360 degrees, giving operators more control and flexibility during operations.
Key Features
Our powered tailstock clamp rotates a full 360° continuously without resetting, eliminating the start-stop cycles of older bucking units. This continuous motion significantly boosts efficiency, making connections much faster than stroking torque machine.
Get immediate feedback with real-time torque-turn graphs and key parameters. The system automatically records all connection data and generates comprehensive PDF reports for easy analysis and comparison.
Boasting a 10-32″ OD working range, the fully rotational torque machine handles diverse pipe sizes with no changeover. Its hydraulic clamping system grips 2⅜-32″ OD pipe, offering 500-200,000 ft-lbs torque for premium connections.
- This machine detects shoulder torque, automatically stopping when reaches the pre-set optimized torque. Precise hydraulic control ensures consistent, accurate make-up every time, preventing over-torque.
- Achieve unmatched precision with 0.2% torque accuracy. The system automatically detects shoulder torque, controls rotation to prevent over-torque, and applies preset values uniformly with precise hydraulic control.
- User-friendly operation is a priority, with modern controls and automation. An intuitive touchscreen, auto/manual modes, real-time alerts, and a safe, enclosed design ensure ease of use and personnel protection.
- Data overlay displays torque-turn graphs with multi-curve comparison. Records comprehensive connection data, generating insightful reports for precise quality control and analysis.
Bucking Unit Specification
Torque Range A is calibrated exclusively for premium threaded connections, delivering precise, lower-band torque for high-spec make-up/break-out without overstressing sensitive joint geometries.
Torque Range B covers a broader spectrum, suitable for both premium connections and general tool make-up/break-out, giving you the high-power capacity needed for heavy tubulars and down-hole tools alike.
