Rotary drilling tools

Rotary drill bits are manufactured using advanced materials technology, leading to longer bit life and reduced costs. Innovative bearing technology and improved geometry, materials and innovative machining methods all improve performance.

Choose from a full range of rotary subs and adapters for a variety of drilling needs. Subs provide various functions such as changing from one thread form to another (cross-over subs) or reducing wear to component threads (thread-saver subs).

There are two different types of stabilizers - the welded and the rotating roller stabilizer. Welded blade stabilizers are used to stabilize and control hole deviation. Roller stabilizers provide more reaming and cutting action and are typically used in hard rock environments.

Sandvik Drill Deck Bushings centralize the drill pipe over the hole, preventing misalignment of the bit and drill string while extending the tool’s life. There are two types of bushing: static and rotating.

Rotary drill pipes are included in a complete drill string and made by joining a pin end tool joint, a mid-body tube and box end tool. Different grades of raw material are used so the pipes are well suited to a variety of rock hardness and abrasiveness.

Shock absorbers are available for both rotary and down-the-hole (DTH) drilling. Reducing shock and vibration provides a more fluid drilling operation and enhances performance. It also prolongs the service life of the drill rig's rotary head, drill string components and bits.
