Bowen S-2.5 Powor Swivel
Traller Mounted
Bowen offers @ complete line of Power Subs and Power
Swivels from small, portable units, used mosly for light
workovers, to models capable of 30,000 plus ft-lbe, of
torque (ES-7 Electric Swivel) designed for deep well
drilling or large piling hole work This broad spectrum
of avallable equipment allows selection of unite suited
to the requirements of most jobs, and tailor-made units
with speeds and torque ratings sulted to any job are
also available,
All of Bowen's Power Subs and Power Swivels are en-
Gineered to provide smooth, shock-free torque, which
Feduces drill string wear. Using a Bowen Power Sub. or
Power Swivel, in most applications, eliminates spinning
chains, tongs’ and kelley spinners, and will permit drill
ing in jonger drill string tengthe betore shutting down to
add pipe which reduces start-ups and stops; thus re-
ducing’ pump, drawworks and other flg equipment wear.
Custom made hardened steel gears and conservatively
rated bearings are standard in most unite.
{Al models other than tne ES-7 Electric Dniling Swivel (previous
page) are hydraulically driven and the smaller units are availa:
ble trailer or skid-mounted with matched diesel engine powered
Prime Mover. Hose reels and swivel or sub carrying stands are
standard on most models.
Control Assemblies may be air. electric or uniblock (hydraulic)
{and are mounted on portable stands which may be remotely
located away from the prime mover. Calibrated torque gages
are standard
Power Swivels are furnished with a ball, circulating
gooseneck and wire line access plug. Power Subs are
Used with a conventional circulating swivel or the
Bowen Workover Swivel to provide the same service as
2 Rowan Power Swivel, where verlical clearance in the
derrick permit a longer hook-up.

feature a high capacity hydraulle motor and low ratio
(8:1) gear train, This combination assures long hydraulic
motor. gear and bearing life as these components are
operating at much lower R.P.M.s than competitive units

Tugged gear type motors, well known in the oil field for
dependable service under adverse conditions. The

$-2.5 AND $-3.5 POWER SWIVELS:
‘The S-2.5 and S-3.5 Power Swivels represent the new genera-
tion of Bowen Power Swivels using modern hydraulic fechnol-
‘ogy and equipment. These units, with their matched primo
movers, are approximately 25% lighter than other units with,
‘comparable torque and .PM. characteristics.
The units use a closed loop hydraulic system with variable
displacement, reversible over center pumps, and normally, air
Controls (electric controle are algo available). Speed control ie
Continuously variable over the entie operational range. Torque
Control is pressure compensator type which overrides the
speed control to maintain desired maximum torque.
Bowen $-2.5 Power Swivel Skid Mounted
Controls for the 2.5 and 9.5 (.5 series) are rugged. reliable and
simple. The control panel has one air valve to control direction,
and speed, one air valve for prime mover engine speed and a
‘calibrated torque gage for torque indication in tt-Ibs. A torque
‘conivol limit valve fs located on the prime mover and may De
reset andior adjusted to the desired maximum torque by sim-
Ply turing a single knob.
Asis the case with the smaller swivels, a wide range of torque
and R.PM. performance characteristics, through hydraulic mo-
tor selection, is available for any application. Tho stangara units
range from 3,200 ft-lbs. torque and 195 RPM. forthe $-2. 5A to
6,200 ft-lbs. and 155 F.PM. for the 53.5 Swivel.

The prime mover requirements forthe 2 5 swivel are 83 BH P
(@ 2,000 RPM. and 43 G.PM. at §,000 PS.I.; and for the 3.5
unit, 175 B.H-P. & 2,000 R.PM. and83G.PM. at 4,500 PS.I.for
‘maximum performance characteristics
The HDS 2 and § 3 Power Swivels and PE-2 and PE-3 Power
Subs are predecessors of the .5 series and are designed
round open loop hydraulic systems. The units themselves
Weigh essentially the same as their counterpartsin the 5 series
but the prime maver units are approximately 25% heavier due to
the increased size of reservoir, piping and skid
‘The portormance characteristics of these units are approx:
mately 107% lass than the corresponding 5 series dur primarily
to the lower system operating design pressures.1290
The primo mover roauized for those unite, and the by-
draulic system is based on a maximum of 3,000 P81
hydraulic: pressure; and in many cases, this pressure,
and the open loop system, will allow use of existing
prime movers already in the field to power the units,

BOWEN PS-4 & PS-5 POWER SUBS
HEAVY DUTY DRILLING TYPES
‘The Bowen Model 4 and Model 5 Power Subs, de-
signed for heavy duty drilling operations, are cap.
able of torque and speed outputs to meet the re-
quirements of the deepest drilling or large diameter
piling holes.
The PS-4 unit is hydraulically powered and the stem
is driven through a four-speed transmission giving
the unit 28,000 ft-lbs. at 55 F.P.M. in the first gear
‘and 7,900 ft.-Ibs, at 200 R.P.M. in the fourth gear.
The PS-5 Power Sub is a hydraulically powered unit

driven through a fixed ratio gear assembly which
allows simplified controls and operation from zero
torque and R.P.M. to the unit's maximum output of
10,000 11-Ibs. and 200 R.P.M.
Both the PS-4 and PS-5 Control Systems are air
operated for reliability
The prime mover and hydraulic requirements for the
PS-4 and PS-5 are basically the same, and minimum
requirements are some 130 GPM. at 3,500 PS.
These hydraulic units normally are designed for each
customer to meet specific space, weight, and per-
