Technical Tuesday: Rod Runouts

Technical Tuesday

If your Rod Runouts are triggering flashbacks from algebra class, it may be time to look beyond a rider band replacement. Bad runouts can often be caused by improper torqueing and fretted/unparallel faces on the crank end of your compressor where it mates to the outboard end of the doghouse. This is more prevalent on some OEM models than others. Join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, September 14-16, 2021 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA or contact us for more information.
