New Era® Rod Guides (Rotating)
Spin-Thru™ & Spin-Thru II™
- Unique spin-thru design reduces hydraulic resistance and mechanical friction, so primary drives operate more efficiently and with less power
- Patented guide fin design provides less pressure drop
- Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) guide for extremely durable construction
- Scalloped ends prevent sand or other debris from accumulating in the bearing cavity and provide superior lubrication with fluid and cooling of guide and sleeve
- Lower torque means less power required to operate the PC pump drive
- Nominal tubing sizes:
Spin-Thru: 2", 2-1/2", 3", 4-1/2", 5-1/2"
Spin-Thru II: 2-1/2", 3"
- Materials available:
Guide: UHMW PE
Sleeve: PPS, AF
Pathfinder™
- A four-channeled inside sleeve that is bonded to the rod and rotates with the rod string
- Handles temperatures to 180°F
- The flow-thru rod guide design allows fluid to flow freely through the rod guide and reduces pressure drop
- The stationary outside sleeve of the rod guide centralizes the rods inside the tubing to reduce wear
- A combination of extra material added to offset channels and our proprietary SanGard material increase guide life over conventional rotating rod guides
- Fits rod sizes from 5/8" to 1" and tubing sizes from 2-7/8" to 3-1/2"
New Era® Blazer™
- Effectively increases production and decreases workover costs by extending rod and tubing service life in standard and high temperature applications
- Specifically designed for wells using a downhole PCP
- The spin-thru design reduces the torque that is generated by the mechanical and hydraulic friction of the rotating rod string
- Compatible with SAGD and steam flooded applications
