Pro-Align Polished Rod Alignment Tool
The Pro-Align helps operators overcome stuffing box problems by automatically adjusting to an out-of-line pumping unit whether it is a horizontal misalignment or a tilt in any direction. By automatically adjusting to the actual travel path of the polished rod, the Pro-Align allows the stuffing box to line up with the polished rod rather than the polished rod having to bend each stroke as it passes through a conventional stuffing box and well head setup.
Features
- Attaches between the pumping tee and the stuffing box.
- Can be used between any standard stuffing box and well head, or in combination with other H-F Well Head Tools.
- Will compensate for horizontal misalignment up to ½” in any direction and angular tilt up to 2-1/2” off center in any direction. These maximum limits prevent the sucker rod string from rubbing against the tubing. (Pumping units that reach the maximum limits should be re- aligned.)
Benefits
- Solves problems with leading stuffing boxes, cut tubing, polished rod breakage and excess stuffing box friction.
- Helps cure horizontal misalignment and vertical stroking misalignment that exists on many wells due to initial misplacement of the pumping unit or later movement due to soil settling, frost heave, equipment wear or vibration.
- Identifies polished rod movement that can result from pumping unit geometry problems.
