    Masts
    Cubex two uses kinds of masts for any kind of drill.

    Light Mast
    Three Sizes
    8 foot
    9 foot
    10 foot

    10 foot most common

    Stingers
    Stingers
    Stingers
    Each stinger is made up of two cylinders.
    Stingers
    Stingers can be a 60:40 split or 50:50 split.
    Centralizers
    Removing Drill Pipe
    Slip Plate
    The slip plate is moved out by two
    hydraulic cylinders.

    Top Drive
    Splined
    Piston
    The splined piston moves up
    and down. It is pushed out by
    air pressure, which is
    controlled by the operator in
    order to lock the rod to rotate
    with the drill string.

    Feed Cylinder
    Feed force comes from hydraulic
    pressure in the feed cylinder.

    Common Issues
    • Bottom Bushing wears out
    • Trunnions wear out
    • Top drives will always creep down
    Top Drive Mounting Plate
    The top drive is connected to the feed cylinder by trunnion caps.
    Top Drive Mounting Plate
    The trunnion caps are slotted to allow play between the top drive mounting plate and the feed
    cylinder. The play is necessary to avoid damage to the rod threads during makeup and
    breakout.
    Top Drive Mounting Plate
    The top drive is fastened to the mounting plate using eight ¾” bolts.
    Top Drive Mounting Plate
    The top drive mounting plate slides up and down the mast on V-guides that hold it to the mast.
    Top Drive Mounting Plate
    To stop metal-on-metal contact, two dovetail sliders are installed on the back of the mounting
    plate. This protects the face of the mast.
    Top Drive Mounting Plate
    The V-guides need to be adjusted to keep the plate tight to the mast. A drill with a tight
    mounting plate produces an accurate hole and will have less downtime than a drill with
    loose guides.
