Friction kelly bar
Unlike a typical Kelly bar, a friction kelly bar has a number of advantages. The bar is made from a seamless alloy tube which guarantees the quality and accuracy of sizes. The tube's cross-section is square or hexagonal. It is also collapsible, which makes it ideal for drilling in a soft layer. It also has a high abrasion resistance, which means you can drill deeper and faster.
A friction kelly bar is also a good choice when you need to drill in dense sand and gravel. It can also be used under full torque, which is another advantage. The bar is also able to transfer crowd pressure to the drilling tool. The bar is a key component of a hydraulic rotary drilling rig.
One of the most important features of the friction kelly bar is the damping noise system. This feature comprises of a phonoassorbent material, which is protected by a steel plate. It is able to reduce the high-frequency noise associated with drilling and provide a better experience for the operator.
Interlocking kelly bar
Using an interlocking kelly bar, you can drill in both hard and soft rock formations. This device is also used in pilling rigs. Its main function is to transfer torque from a rotary drive tool to a drilling tool.
The kelly bar has a number of features, including a taper key, a baffle, and a damping noise system. These features are designed to minimize high-frequency noise and reduce the impact of the kelly bar on the rig during the drilling process. The damping noise system comprises of a phono-absorbent material that is bonded to the outer scope of the kelly bar. This material is also protected by a steel plate.
One of the most effective features of an interlock kelly bar is its ability to transfer large pressure through the pressure point. This is achieved by the application of a special designed spring and pressure plates. The springs will help to reduce the impact on the rig during the drilling process.

Telescopic kelly bar
Typically, a telescopic kelly bar is a tubular component of a rotary drilling rig. This component transmits torque from a rotary drive power source (KDK) to an excavator's bit, which is used to drill a subterranean bore in a geological formation.
The invention relates to an improved telescope kelly bar design. It is intended to solve several shortcomings of existing telescopic kelly bar designs. The main objective of the invention is to provide a full range of control for the kelly bar. The second objective of the invention is to improve the fatigue strength of the kelly bar.
The invention comprises a telescopic kelly-bar apparatus for use in large-diameter excavators. The kelly-bar apparatus includes a first kelly-bar, a second kelly-bar, and an outer kelly-bar. The first kelly-bar is coupled to a first inner tube, which is nestled within the outer tube. The second kelly-bar is inserted into the outer kelly-bar, and the outer kelly-bar is coupled to kelly driving device 37.
Kelly saver sub
Having a Kelly Saver Sub between the Kelly or top drive and drill pipe reduces damage to the drill casing and BOP equipment. In most cases, the Saver Sub is attached to the lower end of the Kelly bar. It can be equipped with rubber or brass protectors to reduce wear. Using extra Saver Subs can also help prevent downtime.
The Saver Sub is a short length of pipe that connects different parts of the drilling string. It can be used to adjust a drill stem or perform another special function. It is also used to accommodate different connections, such as different drill stem components with different outside diameters. The saver sub can be reconditioned more cheaply than a kelly.
Saver Subs are available in all sizes. They are usually pin to pin subs, but there are also bent subs and reduced section subs. Typically, the upper sub is used as part of the rotary shouldered connection. It is used to protect the pin end of the kelly. It can also be used as an expendable substitute device to reduce wear during make up.
