Connection Replacement for a Drilling Mud Motor

摘要

A method for reconditioning a rotary connection of a rotor on a drilling mud rotor. A new rotary connection is machined from a metal blank and is provided with an externally threaded pin end which is subsequently screwed into a mating female threaded opening provided on the rotor body. The new metal connection is welded to the rotor body at an intersection of the connection and selected end of the rotor body. The threaded end of the new connection is threaded a predetermined depth which is selected to bottom out at a selected depth within the mating female threaded opening provided on the rotor body prior to the welding step.
