PIPE MACHINING APPARATUSES AND METHODS OF OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

Pipe machining apparatuses are provided. In one aspect, a locking member may be provided to selectively engage with a frame and a tool carrier of a pipe machining apparatus to prevent movement of the tool carrier relative to the frame. In another aspect, a roller bearing assembly for a pipe machining apparatus may be provided and defines a lubricant cavity in a spindle of the roller bearing assembly. In a further aspect, a coupling member for coupling a pipe machining apparatus to either an exterior surface or an exterior surface of a pipe may be provided. In still another aspect, an adjustable pad is provided for coupling a pipe machining apparatus to a pipe.

1. A coupling member adapted to couple a pipe machining apparatus to a pipe, the coupling member comprising:
a support member coupled to the pipe machining apparatus and defining a cavity therein; a body member coupled to the support member and at least partially positioned within the cavity, the body member including a tool engagement portion for rotating the body member relative to the support member; a sleeve coupled to the body member and translatable along the body member; and a guide member engaged with the sleeve to allow translation of the sleeve along the body member and inhibit rotation of the sleeve relative to the support member.
