DTH hammer Cushion Subs for increasing tooling life, reduced equipment downtime

Cushion Subs used for rotary top drive and the drill string protecting drill pipe thread

Cushion Subs

Cushion subs, also known as float subs or floating cushion subs, are used as a connector between the rotary top drive and the drill string. Cushion subs serve three main functions: provide a means of making up and breaking out threaded connections without damaging threads, decrease the load on the threads of the drill rig components, and absorb shock and reduce vibration and wear of the drill string and drill rig components.

Cushion subs work using a sliding spindle, which permits the threads of the mating drill string components to float together or apart during rotation without any axial movement of the rotary drive. Upper and lower urethane cushions decrease the impact on the rotary drive bearings and gear box assembly, thereby prolonging bearing and gear life of the rotary top drive.

Other benefits of cushion subs include increased tooling life, reduced equipment downtime, and minimum maintenance requirements. Replacement seal kits are available, and cushion subs may be returned for rebuild or upgrade.
