Abstract: A helical solid profile attached and originating from the outer diameter of a composite or steel sucker rod and extending approximately to the inner diameter of the production tubing, running axially along the sucker rod body and affixed to it for reinforcement and stabilization of the sucker rod tension member body in axial alignment to the central axis of the production tubing which the sucker rod member is housed in, whereas the helical solid profile is made of material which is for acceptable use within the production system environment, the helical solid profile purpose being to control and reduce the sucker rod's deflection during compressive moments, extending the life of the sucker rod or reduction in stress and erratic buckling cycles.

Abstract: A new method of curing polymer thermoset materials for use in down-hole production system sucker rod protection devices is disclosed. The process for making sucker rod components on a sucker rod comprises the steps of introducing a thermoset molding compound into a molding tool heated to a first temperature; heating the molding compound in the molding tool for a first processing time to form molded sucker rod components on a sucker rod that are partially cured; removing the molded sucker rod components and sucker rod after the first processing time; and placing the sucker rod components and sucker rod into a thermal chamber at a second temperature for a second processing time to provide secondary curing.
