High Torque Performance
LEWCO™ DirectDrive™ top drives from Cameron are manufactured for
high performance and reliability in drilling applications. The drillstem
of the patented LEWCO DirectDrive top drive is directly coupled to the
purpose built AC electric motor, which eliminates the need for a gearbox,
along with the bearing, gearing, maintenance and lubrication problems
associated with the gearbox. The result is a low-maintenance,
high-performance, high-reliability top drive designed for high torque,
severe duty drilling applications, such as directional drilling.
