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 of our fully rotational bucking unit:
High Torque Capacity: Our machine handles up to 200,000 ft-lb of torque, accommodating a wide range of applications. It can operate efficiently from as low as 200 ft-lb, providing versatility for various operations.
Advanced Hydraulic System: The machine features a low-pressure hydraulic system, eliminating the need for high-pressure hoses and fittings. This not only reduces costs but also enhances safety.
Fixed and Traversing Components: The unit consists of a fixed headstock and a traversing tailstock.
Hydraulically Controlled Clamp Cylinders: Both headstock and tailstock include hydraulically controlled clamp cylinders that can adjust to tubular goods from 2 3/8 to 48 inches in OD without changing jaws, minimizing downtime and safety risks.
Fully Floating Tail and Headstock Option: For offset torque connections, the machine provides a fully floating tail and headstock option, available for machines up to 100,000 ft-lb and 22-inch working OD.
