Abstract: An improved sealed bearing pack for a downhole mud motor is disclosed. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to a mud motor for straight and directional drilling with a sealed bearing pack designed to withstand higher torques, loads, and pressure operations and with a reduced failure rate. In some embodiments, the sealed bearing pack has more lateral support for improved horizontal drilling and extended operational life. Thus, one embodiment includes an adapter housing extending the length of the outer housing and a bearing within the adapter housing for increased support. Additionally, some embodiments include two thrust bearing assemblies for improved operations and reduced failures. Various embodiments include a longer flow sleeve than prior art sealed bearing packs.
