  2. Swivel (drill rig) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swivel_(drill_rig)

    A Swivel is a mechanical device used on a drilling rig that hangs directly under the traveling block and directly above the kelly drive, that provides the ability for the kelly (and subsequently the drill string) to rotate while allowing the traveling block to remain in a stationary rotational position (yet allow vertical movement up and down the derrick) while simultaneously allowing the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_swivel_commutator

    Mercury swivel commutators are typically used in electrophysiological experiments on head-free [clarification needed] or moving animals. Whereas electrical recordings from stationary, head-fixed animals can be done with electrodes attached directly with wires to the amplifier and recording setup on a stereotaxtic rig, in freely moving animals a commutator is needed to prevent twisting of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevators_(drilling_rig)

    Elevators, as developed for the drilling industry, are a hinged device with handles that are used to wrap around the tool joint of drill pipe, casing or lift nipples (for collars) to facilitate the lifting or lowering of them singly or of the drill string as a whole.

    Swivels are also used in the nautical sector as an element of the anchor rode and in a boat mooring systems. With yachts, the swivel is most commonly used between the anchor and chain. There is a school of thought that anchor swivels should not be connected to the anchor itself, but should be somewhere in the chain rode. [4]

  6. Top drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_drive

    The top drive allows the drilling rig to drill the longer section of a stand of drill pipe in one operation. [1] A rotary table type rig can only drill 30-foot (9.1 m) (single drill pipe) sections of drill pipe whereas a top drive can drill 60–90-foot (18–27 m) stands (double and triple drill pipe respectively, a triple being three joints of drillpipe screwed together), depending on the ...
