Series of Clutch

Spanning static torque from 8.1 kN.m on the ATD-214H to 110.8 kN.m on the ATD-330H, the ATD air-tube and push-disc clutch is the dry friction element that connects and disconnects the rig drawworks, mud pump and workover drivetrain. Seven covered models run at drum speeds up to 2200 rpm on the small ATD-214H and 1100 rpm on the heavy ATD-330H, with the press disc moving 2 to 6 mm across the range and engagement supplied at 0.7 MPa shop air. Pneumatic actuation gives a soft take-up on high-inertia loads and slips before the drivetrain sees a locked overload, which is why the same series spans a small workover pump clutch and a deep-well drawworks feed.

Core advantages

Designed around the operating requirement.

8.1 to 110.8 kN.m Across Seven ATD Models

The series steps from the 8.1 kN.m ATD-214H through the 17.4, 34.7 and 52 kN.m air-tube sizes to the 110.8 kN.m ATD-330H, so a small workover drum and a deep-well drawworks draw from one product family rather than bespoke designs.

Up to 2200 rpm on the Small End

Drum speed ratings run from 1100 rpm on the torque-heavy ATD-330H to 2200 rpm on the ATD-214H, matching high-speed pump shafts against slow, high-torque drawworks input shafts without a separate speed-adapter stage.

0.7 MPa Air, 2 to 6 mm Disc Travel

Engagement is on plant air at 0.7 MPa, and the press disc advances 2 to 3 mm on the smaller models to 5 to 6 mm on the ATD-330H; that travel sets the actuator stroke the rig pneumatic panel is plumbed around.

Dry, Lubrication-Free Friction Pack

The friction plates run dry, so there is no oil bath to seal, change or top up. The air tube and disc pack is the only wear group, and the split housing lets it be swapped without dropping the clutch shaft from the skid.

Inherent Slip Protection on Overload

Friction engagement transmits torque until the load exceeds the plate grip, then slips rather than locking the drivetrain solid. On a jammed mud pump or a stalled drawworks drum that protects the engine and transmission ahead of the clutch instead of shearing a coupling.

Shared Linings and Pneumatic Spares

The air tube, friction lining and press disc are consumables common across the ATD range, so a rig running mixed-model drawworks and pump clutches stocks one lining set and one air-tube family. Control valves and the 0.7 MPa actuator are specified at order time.

Application

Where this equipment is used.

  • Connecting and disconnecting the drawworks, mud pump and workover drivetrain with dry friction engagement.
  • Soft take-up on high-inertia loads, slipping before the drivetrain sees a locked overload.
  • Model selection by torque: ATD-214H at 8.1 kN·m up to the ATD-330H at 110.8 kN·m static torque.
  • Engagement at 0.7 MPa shop air across the seven covered models.
  • Retrofit and replacement of clutches on existing rig and workover drivetrains.
  • Matching drum speeds from 2200 rpm on the small model to 1100 rpm on the heavy unit.

Buyer questions

Frequently asked about this equipment.

Buyers evaluating the clutch series usually ask about torque rating and drive integration.

What is the core function of Clutch in oilfield equipment?

The ATD air-tube and push-disc clutch is the dry friction element that connects and disconnects the rig drawworks, mud pump and workover drivetrain. Engagement on 0.7 MPa shop air brings the high-inertia load up softly, and the friction pack slips before the drivetrain sees a locked overload, which protects the engine and transmission ahead of the clutch instead of shearing a coupling.

What are the advantages of pneumatic clutch compared with traditional clutches?

Different from traditional mechanical clutches, oilfield pneumatic clutches adopt dry-type non-lubrication design with fast response, no self-engagement risk and stable operation. They feature flexible power transmission, strong overload buffering capacity, no oil pollution and simple daily maintenance, fully adapting to high-frequency and high-load harsh oilfield working conditions.

How to select the correct clutch model?

Model selection is based on supporting equipment type, power grade, working torque and operating frequency. Small-size clutches suit conventional workover rigs and small mud pumps; medium and large-size high-torque clutches are applicable to deep and ultra-deep well drilling rig drawworks and high-power supporting equipment.

Can the clutch work stably in extreme harsh environments?

Yes. The full-series products adopt full-climate adaptive design with dust-proof, anti-corrosion and wide-temperature resistant performance. Core components resist low-temperature aging and high-temperature thermal decay, ensuring stable pneumatic control and friction transmission at -40℃ ~ +55℃, adapting to all harsh oilfield working environments.

Can specifications and supporting configurations be customized?

Yes. The configuration is settled against the driven equipment before the order: model across the ATD range (8.1 to 110.8 kN.m static torque), press-disc travel (2 to 6 mm), the 0.7 MPa air supply and control valves, and the split-housing lining set are matched to the drawworks or mud-pump shaft, then written into the quotation and the factory test report.
