The LDXL Type 1000 Ton Rotary Slip incorporates some unique and innovative features. It is designed to address the problems that can arise from ever increasing drill string loads now being encountered in deep water drilling.
In the LDXL Type 1000 Ton Rotary Slip, each insert rests on its own independent ledge and in this way the load is more evenly distributed over the full vertical height of all inserts in the slip. This design reduces the importance of the slip toe, thereby reducing the possibility of slip toe failure.
The design of the LDXL Type 1000 Ton Rotary Slip allows the full insert contact area to be retained, thus reducing the possibility of crushing the pipe.
The LDXL Type 1000 Ton Rotary Slip comes with a floating hinge pin design which allows the three slip segments to move individually and equally towards the center of the pipe. This allows all segments to transmit equal force towards the center of the drill pipe as the string weight increases.
The LDXL Type 1000 Ton Rotary Slip has a 20” gripping surface with 30 special designed inserts.
LDXL Type 1000 Ton Rotary Slips are quality, heat-treated steel construction and are capacity rated to API specifications.
Size Range: 7" through 4 1/2"
Capacity: 1000 ton
