Abstract: A bearing rotary swivel joint preferably includes a swivel housing, a rotary swivel, an end plate, a solid bearing, a plurality of wear rings, a spring clip and a swivel seal. The swivel housing includes a threaded tube inlet and a swivel receiver bore. The rotary swivel includes a through bore, a threaded swivel inlet, a bearing diameter and an outer diameter. An O-ring groove is formed in the rotary swivel to receive the O-ring. The solid bearing is retained on the bearing diameter, terminated on each end with wear rings and axially retained with a spring clip against a bearing shoulder of the rotary swivel. The swivel seal is retained on the bearing diameter. The rotary swivel is inserted through a center bore in an end plate. The end plate is preferably fastened to the swivel housing with a plurality of fasteners.

Abstract: A rotary swivel joint preferably includes a swivel housing, a rotary swivel, an end plate, two sets of sealed bearings, a swivel seal and an O-ring. The swivel housing includes a threaded tube inlet and a swivel receiver bore. The rotary swivel includes a through bore, a threaded swivel inlet, a bearing diameter and a sealing diameter and an outer diameter. An O-ring groove is formed in the bearing diameter to receive the O-ring. The first and second sealed bearing sets are retained on the bearing diameter and axially retained with a plurality of snap rings. The swivel seal is retained on the sealing diameter. The rotary swivel is inserted through a center bore in the end plate. The end plate is preferably fastened to the swivel housing with a plurality of fasteners.

Abstract: A root cutter collar with quick changing skids preferably includes a base tube, a plurality of skid bosses, a plurality of skid retainers, a plurality of threaded fasteners and a plurality of skids. The plurality of skid bosses are attached to an outside perimeter of the base tube. A pair of tapped holes are formed through each skid boss. A location pin extends outward from the skid boss and is located between the pair of tapped holes. Each skid retainer includes two through holes, which are concentric with the two tapped holes in each skid boss. Each skid includes a pair of slotted openings and a pin notch located between the pair of slotted openings. The pin notch is sized to receive the location pin. Threaded fasteners are inserted into the pair of holes in the skid retainer and tightened in the skid boss to retain the skid.

Abstract: An equipment monitoring system preferably includes an electronic control device, a controller area network bus wiring harness (CAN BUS) and a plurality of sensors. The electronic control device preferably includes a software program for receiving input from the plurality of sensors. The CAN BUS wiring harness provides an interface between the electronic control device and the plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors include at least one oil temperature sensor, at least one fluid pressure sensor, at least one vibration sensor, at least one speed sensor, a moisture sensor vacuum sensor and an exhaust air temperature sensor. The software program monitors the plurality of sensors. If the operating limit of one of the plurality of sensors is exceeded, the electronic control device sets off some type of alarm. The electronic control device preferably wirelessly transmits the data received from the sensor to a remote device.
