Crown Block Quality That Shows
Sovonex™ crown blocks are strictly manufactured to the latest edition of API 4F and API 8C and authorized to carry the API monogram. We use them on all of our land drilling rigs, mobile rigs, and self-propelled workover rigs due to their reliability.
Sheaves That Live Up to Their Task
In addition to the main sheaves and a sand-line sheave, a Sovonex™ crown block assembly is are also equipped with a large fast line sheave and two sets of smaller sheaves for the auxiliary winches.
Sheaves are machined from an integral steel alloy body and subsequent heat treatment to eliminate rim cracks and enhance stability. Sheave grooves further undergo medium frequency hardening which significantly reduces wear from the wireline. Individually mounted on heavy-duty tapered roller bearings, each sheave rotates nearly frictionless.
