The mud pump crosshead is a crucial component in oil and gas drilling mud pumps, designed for optimal durability and performance. Crafted from high-quality cast iron, the crosshead and crosshead guide provide excellent wear resistance and a long service life. The mud pump employs upper and lower guide rails, with shims under the lower guide rail to adjust concentricity.
The crosshead connects to the extension rod via a bolted flange, ensuring a rigid and precise alignment. A lightweight coupler connects the extension rod to the piston rod, making the assembly process easy and reliable. The crosshead pin, made from 45# steel, is a critical link between the connecting rod and the crosshead, further enhancing the assembly’s stability and performance.
