<p>6235-70 A roller-reamer stabilizer having a plurality of roller cutters mounted in recesses in the supporting body such that each roller is free to rotate in its own bearing blocks. The cutters and bearing blocks are provided with air bleed lubrication and cooling from a central bore in the supporting body as is common and well known in the art. The present invention deals with the supporting body of a roller-reamer stabilizer of the near bit type and in particular one that would be used in the mining blast hole drilling industry. This supporting body is characterized by having a profiled lower end having maximum diameter outer surfaces separated by minimum diameter relief areas. The maximum diameter surfaces are, respectively, aligned with the cutters and extend upwardly from near the lower surface of the body to encompass the lower bearing blocks. The minimum diameter relief areas extend further up the body and terminate level with the upper bearing blocks. This configuration reduces the wear experienced in the vicinity of the lower bearing blocks.</p> |
