  • Rotating pipe machining device
    Patent number: 8534170
    Abstract: A machining device has a stationary member and a rotating member. A plurality of bearings on one of the members engages a surface of the other. At least one of the bearings is radially fixed, while the remainder of the bearings are radially adjustable. In another aspect of the invention, the bearings are rotatable on a first cylindrical portion of a mounting shaft that has a second cylindrical portion attachable to the machine. A radial undercut is provided around a flange between the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Valve operator
    Patent number: 5381996
    Abstract: A valve operating machine has a reversable motor and a drive assembly for turning the stem of a valve, and a sensor for determining the torque applied to the valve stem. The amount of torque applied to the valve stem is regulated so as not to exceed the torque limits of the valve. The machine will gradually apply greater amounts of torque in opposite directions until the valve has become unfrozen. Thereafter, the valve will be rotated until the opening or closing cycle has been completed. When an increase in torque is detected, the machine will reverse to unjam a valve, and where such reversal does not result in further forward movement, the machine will terminate the cycle.
