TOUGHTORQ™ AP SHEAR COUPLING
Innovative, all-purpose shear coupling designed for BOTH reciprocating and PCP
Shear couplings are used to reliably separate the rod string from the bottom hole assembly when a pump seizes or rods get stuck. This prevents the costly and environmentally unfriendly process of pulling tubing and rods out simultaneously.
The ToughTorq™ AP shear coupling was designed for high performance in both reciprocating and rotating applications. Plainsman, leaders in shear innovation, have designed an all-purpose shear coupling that combines many of the trusted features of our standard ToughTorq™ with technology that further reduces bending and axial fatigue failures. The ToughTorq™ AP also includes a proprietary internal shear mechanism eliminating the need for pins.
Proven significantly better in bending than all shears on the market
Extensive rotating bending and axial fatigue lab testing
Innovative, patent-pending shear technology
Well suited for PCP or Reciprocating applications
OVERVIEW
Enhanced Fatigue Resistance for Long-Lasting Well Operations
The TOUGHTORQ™ AP Shear Coupling is an innovative, all-purpose solution designed for high performance in both reciprocating and progressive cavity pump (PCP) applications. This coupling reliably separates rod strings from bottom hole assemblies when pumps seize or rods get stuck, preventing costly and environmentally unfriendly well pulls. Featuring patent-pending shear technology, a slim hole diameter, and a robust internal shear mechanism, this coupling excels in bending and axial fatigue resistance, making it ideal for Edmonton's diverse well conditions.
Features & Benefits
- Proven significantly better in bending than all shears on the market
- Extensive rotating bending and axial fatigue lab testing
- Innovative, patent-pending shear technology
- Well suited for PCP or Reciprocating applications
- Flex groove on OD makes whole shear more flexible, therefore less stress from bending
- Larger multi-face key improves torque capabilities
- Preloading from the bolt isolates shear nut from large alternating loads which cause fatigue failures
- Proprietary internal shear has no pins, is isolated from bending, and eliminates internal wear
- All parts are internal, protected from corrosive production fluids
- Slim hole diameter
