  • Patent number: 9890602
    Abstract: A drive module for a borehole or well tractor or runner comprises a drive module housing and a hydraulically actuated and pivoting drive arm comprising an arm housing and a drive wheel arranged thereto, wherein the drive wheel is driven by a motor mounted outside the drive arm housing and arranged along and parallel with the drive arm in resting position and onto or into the drive module wall for the cavity arranged or provided for the drive arm, and wherein the drive wheel is drivingly connected to the motor via a drive line arrangement, i.e. via a belt or chain drive arrangement and further via an angular gear or gearing arrangement mounted outside the drive arm housing. A borehole or well tractor or runner comprises at least one of said drive modules.

  • Patent number: 9404617
    Abstract: Clamp (1, 1?) comprising a main body (3, 3?) adapted to encircle an inner element (101) or to be encircled by an outer element to which the clamp (1) can releasably connect. An axially extending opening extends through the main body (3, 3?). The clamp comprises a locking arm (5) which is connected to said main body (3, 3?) at a base end (7), and which can bend elastically to move its oppositely positioned free end (9) in a substantially radial direction. The locking arm (5) comprises a locking pad (13) at a distance from the base end (7), which in a locking position of the locking arm (5) extends radially beyond an inner (4) or outer (4?) diameter, respectively, of the main body (3, 3?). The locking pad (13) is adapted to engage with a recess (113) in said inner (101) or outer (101?) element.

  • Patent number: 9217327
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transmission system for transmitting signals between an inner and an outer unit separated by an annular pipe section wall, wherein said inner unit is provided with a first antenna and the second unit is provided with a second antenna, the antennas preferably constituted by coils, being adapted to be brought into essentially the same positions along the pipe section, wherein said pipe section is made from a material having low magnetic permeability and wherein at least one of the antennas is provided magnetic shield having high magnetic permeability, the corresponding antenna being positioned between the pipe wall and the magnetic shield and the magnetic shield extending along the length of the antenna.
