Problems That Are Prone To Occur with The Tracks of Rotary Drilling RIGS

As an important traveling component of rotary drilling RIGS, tracks are prone to various problems when operating under complex working conditions for a long time. Now let's talk to you about the common problems that are prone to occur with the tracks of rotary drilling RIGS.

1.Excessive track wear: Long-term driving on hard ground or frequent turns can cause excessive wear of components such as track plates and chain track links, affecting the walking performance and even possibly leading to breakage.

2. Improper track tension: If the tension is too loose, the track is prone to derailment; if it is too tight, it will accelerate the wear of components and may also increase the load on the traveling motor. Regular checks and adjustments to the tension are necessary.

3. Foreign objects entering the track: During construction, if foreign objects such as soil and stones enter the interior of the track, they will jam the chain track links, causing the track to operate poorly. In severe cases, it may damage the track components.

4. Loose bolts of the track plates: Vibrations during operation may cause the connecting bolts of the track plates to loosen or fall off, leading to the displacement of the track plates and affecting the stability of movement. They need to be tightened promptly.

5. Failure of the walking motor: If the track does not move smoothly or cannot move at all, it may be due to damage to the internal parts of the walking motor, leakage in the hydraulic system, etc. It is necessary to check the motor and related oil circuits in time.

6. Problems with guide wheels or sprocket rollers: Uneven wear of guide wheels or damage to the bearings of sprocket rollers can cause the track's running trajectory to deviate, increase wear, and may also lead to track derailment faults.

In conclusion, understanding these common problems that may occur with the tracks of rotary drilling RIGS, paying more attention and conducting frequent inspections during daily operations, and promptly identifying and addressing issues can ensure the normal operation of the tracks and the efficient and safe operation of the drilling rig.
