Crank Pin: early detection of pitman pin nut loosening
Position and vibration sensor mounted on the pumping unit's crank pin. It detects loosening of the nut joining the pitman to the walking beam before it becomes breakage, downtime and a safety risk.
-
The problem
Pin nut loosening is silent: by the time it is visible, there is already mechanical damage and accident risk.
-
The solution
Continuous position and vibration monitoring at the exact point, with early alarm on the loosening pattern.
-
Current stage
Functional development complete, no field validation yet. Seeking a partner with access to pumping units for the validation program.
-
For the partner
Early access to a safety product with fleet-wide potential, under preferential launch terms.
