INTRODUCTION TYPE I
TYPE I
DRILCO Ezy-Torq Hydraulic Cathead (Self Contained System)
The Type I Ezy-Torq system is a fully self-contained hydraulic supply power source and control
console, designed to properly operate the unit’s hydraulic cylinder assembly. The entire unit can
be temporarily or permanently installed on the rig floor as a self contained system. The cylinder
assembly includes a specially rated wireline for easy connection to rig tongs.
Constructed for durability and flexible performance
The Type I Ezy-Torq hydraulic cathead’s power unit system features unitized construction and
has a self-contained hydraulic power unit, a remote control module, five 25-ft [7,620-mm] remote
control module hoses, and two 25-ft cylinder hoses.
Accurate and remote hydraulic pressure control
The unit is powered by its positive displacement, tandem pump with a typical high/low pump
circuit. It produces low power consumption, high speed cylinder movement at low force to work
loading, and a slow steady pull at high force to full loading. When a work load causes system
pressure to rise, the high volume pump stage automatically unloads into the reservoir while the
low volume pump stage continues to supply high force for connection makeup.
The power unit can be controlled from a convenient location on the rig with a remote control
module: It features a lever actuated control valve, pressure gauge, and a pilot relief valve to
provide pressure operation and regulation.

For these large diameter BHA components, the smooth and consistent line pull to the rig tongs
ensures proper, consistent makeup of large diameter, rotary shouldered connections.

Power Unit System
DRILCO Ezy-Torq System Design
DRILCO Ezy-Torq systems are available to fit individual rig requirements and operation
parameters. Available systems can be either self contained, powered by the rig, or use an
independent power source. Also available are high temperature rated components for harsh
environment operation.
The Ezy-Torq Hydraulic cathead is available in three power systems to suit the individual
rig requirements. These are: Type I, Type II or Type III systems.

viscosity ranging between160-270 SSU at 100°F (38°C). Fluids with anti-foam/anti-wear additives
are recommended. Do not use tire resistant or other special fluids as damage may result.
Approximately 30 gal US (114 L) of fluid will be required.

New Power Units have the motor wired to the starter, and starter heaters installed for the voltage L1 L2 L3 L1 L2 L3
and frequency specified by the user/purchaser. Compare the power line voltage and frequency
to the rated values shown on the motor nameplate. Combined voltage and frequency variation
between power source and motor must not exceed 10% of motor rated values. Frequency
variation must not exceed 5% of motor rated value.
Use a 30 amp or larger circuit breaker at the source and a power cord long enough to reach
the Power Unit without splicing. Use a four-circuit, ground wire cord (not supplied with unit) per Start Start

ground wire must always be connected prior to power unit operation. Standard motors are dual voltage types and may be wired for high or low voltage as noted
on motor nameplates.
3. Inspect starter coil to insure proper wiring. The coil is a dual-voltage type and must be wired
for the same voltage as the electrical source. 1. Remove motor conduit box cover and inspect wiring for correct voltage (Table 2-6).
2. Connect wire leads using the wiring diagram shown on motor nameplate. Use brass machine
screws and nuts.
3. Wrap wire connections with rubber tape or splicing compound, and then wrap again with
plastic electrical tape. Carefully fold wires into conduit box and replace cover securely.

control unit sheet metal stand for mounting. Mount the valve assembly with 3⁄8-in × 3⁄4-in long 27 27
bolts supplied with Conversion Kit.
2. Using the four 3⁄4-in × 45° elbow fittings and the 3⁄4-in tee fittings, connect the two 3⁄4-in hydraulic
hoses (Figure 4-4). The 30 in hose connects to the Conversion Kit relief valve port as shown
and to the filter inlet port on the main control unit. The 24 in hose connects to the remaining 24
Conversion Kit relief valve port and to the hydraulic return port on the main control unit as
shown.

5.2 Installation 5.2.2 Decide Whether to Use Upright or Inverted Mounting
Installation consists of five major steps: The cylinder may be installed in either the upright mounting position (Figure 5-5), or in the

will be most appropriate.
2. Decide whether to use “upright” or “inverted” mounting.
In the upright position, the cylinder rod extends downward with a 22.5 in (572 mm) stroke.
3. Construct bracing and install cylinder. Therefore, the area directly below the cylinder must be free of obstruction to allow for this

5. Install wireline assembly. In the inverted position, the cylinder is positioned to extend upward requiring clearance
above the cylinder.
5.2.1 Select Location of Cylinder Assembly
Location of the cylinder typically varies with each installation. Recommended location of the
cylinder is illustrated in Figure 5-4. Locate it anywhere between the end of the cathead spool and
the end of the draw works skid. Align the cylinder so that the pull line from the tongs will be in a
straight line through the cylinder to the back braces. The cylinder will swivel about the backup
post to allow for misalignment. For maximum efficiency, the distance between the cylinder and
the tong should be a minimum of 11 ft (3,352 mm) when the tong is positioned for starting pull.
CAUTION: lf the cylinder is mounted closer to the tongs, the wireline return spring must be
removed prior to operation. Otherwise, damage may occur to the cylinder sheave guard.

The cylinder assembly is a high capacity unit. For this reason the cylinder must be well braced.
Cylinders are equipped with anchor adapter block and backup post suitable for welding to

block and backup post allows easy installation and removal of the cylinder.
CAUTION: All welding must be performed by a qualified welder and according to specifications.
Failure to properly weld backup post could lead to failure of the cylinder unit which may cause

serious injury or property damage. Schlumberger assumes no responsibility for failure of unit due
to faulty welds of the bracing mounts.

5.2.5 Install Wireline Assembly Loop

The wireline assembly is not attached to the cylinder when a unit is shipped, so that the line can
be attached to the tong and cut to length leaving a minimum amount of slack in the line.

CAUTION: Use only approved wireline assembly when attaching to the cylinder. Failure to do so
may lead to serious injury. Homemade wirelines are not to be used on this assembly.

1. Attach the looped end of the line to the tongs, and place spring and washers over the wireline
(Figure 5-13).
2. Feed the dead end of the wireline around the blind end sheave, through the line guard, around
the rod end sheave (sheave guard will have to be removed), and through opening in cylinder

3. With the cylinder fully retracted and the tong located in the starting pull position, pull all slack
out of the wireline.
4. Make a loop in the line by feeding the dead end back through the opening in the cylinder rod
end (Figure 5-15).
