On-Site Fault Maintenance Cases
Case 1: Power End Damage from Oil Pump Failure
Scenario: A drilling team noticed unusual noise and overheating from the Bomco F500 mud pump’s power end, followed by a complete shutdown. Inspection revealed the 2S Oil Gear Pump (512601010031000000) had failed, cutting off lubrication to gears and bearings. This led to excessive friction, resulting in worn gear teeth and damaged bearings. Solution: The team replaced the oil pump with our genuine Bomco F500 part, installed a new Oil Filter Assy. (AH100101061000) to remove contaminants, and refilled the system with compatible lubricating oil. They also checked the Pressure Gauge (380202051160006000) to ensure it was functioning correctly. Result: The mud pump restarted within 2 hours, with the lubrication system maintaining a stable pressure of 0.035 MPa at idle. The power end components operated smoothly for 2,000 hours without further issues, avoiding costly component replacement.
Case 2: Oil Leakage from Pipe Connector Failure
