Power Section
The power section is a positive displacement motor
comprised of a rotor and a stator. The rotor is a long, spiral
shaft with a number of external, curved lobes. The stator
has a similar spiral profile formed internally by the stator
elastomer, but is designed to have one more lobe than the
rotor.

Adjustable Bend Housing (EZ3) directional drilling operations.
The EZ3 adjustable bend housing is a proprietary design
