Patent number: 11898553Abstract: A plate segment for a reciprocating pump power end frame assembly, the power end frame assembly having a pair of end plate segments and at least one middle plate segment disposed between the end plate segments. The plate segment consists of the middle plate segment or one of the pair of end plate segments and includes a plate having a front wall, a rear wall, a top wall, a bottom wall and a pair of sidewalls and at least one opening forming a bearing support surface, the opening extending through the plate. The plate segment further includes at least one extension extending from at least one of the sidewalls of the plate at a position to align with and contact a corresponding extension on an adjacently positioned plate.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: SPM Oil & Gas Inc.Inventors: Joseph H. Byrne, Chandu Kumar, Kourosh Momenkhani, Jacob A. Bayyouk, Sean P. Moran, Donald Keith Plemons, William Walter Marshall, IV, Christopher B. Buckley

Patent number: 11746775Abstract: A power end frame assembly for a reciprocating pump that includes a first and second end plate segment each including annular bearing support surfaces configured to support a crankshaft bearing assembly. At least one middle plate segment is disposed between the first and second end plate segments and includes an annular bearing support surface configured to support a crankshaft bearing assembly. The annular bearing support surfaces of the first and second end plate segments and the at least one middle plate segment each have a diameter and are coaxially aligned. The diameter of at least one of the first and second end plate segments is different from the diameter of the at least one middle plate segment to facilitate insertion and removal of the crankshaft bearing assembly from the power end frame assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2018Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: SPM Oil & Gas Inc.Inventors: Jacob A. Bayyouk, Edward C. Kotapish, Chandu Kumar, Donald Keith Plemons, Benjamin D. Engstrom
