  • Downhole motor assemblies, systems and methods
    Patent number: 11306536
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to improved downhole motor designs. In one illustrative embodiment, primary and secondary thrust bearings that are maintained in position by other structural components of the motor without compressive loading of the entire bearing assembly are positioned inside the motor housing for protection from cuttings and debris in the drilling fluid. In some illustrative embodiments, a drive train that features at least one multi-part sectional flex joint may allow for a shortened flex shaft while sufficiently converting eccentric forces from the power source to rotation of the mandrel.
    Type: Grant
