Double Helix Pump Features

Quality and experience - Our pumping units are manufactured in the United States by the Sunward Corporation and we are backed by an experienced staff with many years of quality engineering and manufacturing excellence.  The Helix Pumping Units feature an advanced and proven design that minimizes the destructive, dynamic forces that can occur in Beam type pumping unit designs.  The geometry of this configuration insuress that all bearings are uniformly loaded to provide long bearing life.  Structural bearing assemblies feature self-alignign extra heavy duty roller bearings to ensure constant alignment . This system of alignment minimizes forces that could cause damage to the unit.  This feature alone can save you many hours of down time and costly repairs.   The service brake is an internally expanding, durm-type, sealed unit, which helps assure the most effective braking.  To prevent adverse weather from affecting the operation of the brake, the cable is totally enclosed in flexible metallic hoses to help portect from moisture and damage. This heavy duty brake system is capable of holding the cranks in their maximum load position with the polished rod disconnected.  Easily removable horsehead- safe and easy well servicing.- The main feature of the horsehead on the Sunward Pumping Unit is its Swing-Away capability.  By simply removing one set of lock pins on either side of the reinforced case horsehead, you can squin it out of the way.  This allows you safe and easy access to the well for your workover rigs. The advanced dewign, meticulous engineering adn quality craftsmanship of the heavy duty components used in our pumping unit systems work synergistically to provide the owner reliable production with the minimum amount of service. for example, the Sunward Sampson Post features wide flange H-beam consturction, which is stronger than the I-beam types used by most other manufacturers.  The Sampson Post is mounted on the heavy duty pumping unit base in manner that practically eliminates any bending forces that could occur.  As a result o fthis design, the cyclic forves of the lperation pumping unit Do not weaken the structure.  This feature has save the owners of these pumpin units untold hours of lost production and expensive repairs.                

 Helix counterweight designs reduce your horsepower requirements. The cranks are clamped on the slow speed shaft by large, heavy duty bolts and are additionally secured by extra heavy duty keys.  This makes easy removal in the field practical. To obtain the correct and most effective counter balance, Sunward Pumping Units are equippened with special counterweights mounted on the cranks, which feature T-slots on both sides.  This mounting system permits fast and precise positioning of the counterweights.  Auxiiary counter weights are available for additonal effective  counter ballance,  which simpy bolt on the top of the master weights.  All Sunward Pumping  Units feature the "floor clearing" type configuration.  A crank guard enclosure should be used. This guard may be acquired as optional equipment. (Refer to Operators Manual.)
