In the use of rotary drilling rigs, the torque of the power head is a very important parameter. However, whether more torque is better, is a worthwhile question.
First of all, we need to understand the role of power head torque. Power head torque is the moment required by a rotary drilling rig to rotate drill pipes, break obstacles such as rocks and soils during work. As a result, higher torques provide better crushing capacity and drilling efficiency. A higher torque is necessary in conditions where the ground is hard, there is a lot of rock, or where a larger drilling depth is required.
However, it is worth noting that excessive torque can cause the rig to malfunction. On the one hand, excessive torque can cause excessive load on the transmission system, bearings and gears of the drilling rig, accelerating the wear and damage of these components. On the other hand, excessive torque may cause the drill pipe to break or fall off, which affects the construction safety and quality.
In addition, different operating conditions require different torques. In soft grounds, the ground is softer and requires less torque to complete the drilling operation. In rocky areas, more torque is required to break the rock. Therefore, when choosing a rotary drilling rig, it is necessary to select the appropriate model and power head torque according to the actual working conditions and needs.
To sum up, the more torque the power head is, the better. When choosing a rotary drilling rig, it is necessary to choose the appropriate model and power head torque according to the actual working conditions and needs. On the premise of meeting the construction requirements, selecting the appropriate power head torque can prolong the service life of the equipment, improve the construction efficiency and reduce the failure rate.
