DiaGlide™ Axial Bearings
XR Downhole Introducing DiaGlide™ Axial Bearings
XR Team is bringing DiaGlide™ axial bearings for downhole motors and other drilling tools into full commercial use—technology proven through extensive field testing with leading directional drilling companies.
Drop-In Replacement, Maximum Compatibility
DiaGlide bearing packs are designed to directly replace traditional ball-and-race bearing stacks, fitting seamlessly into the same envelope while delivering superior performance.
Simplified, Robust Design
Each pack is built from just five components—a spacer, an on-bottom PDC bearing race, a single steel race, an off-bottom PDC race, and a second spacer. This streamlined assembly replaces the dozens of moving parts found in conventional bearing stacks, reducing complexity and points of failure.
Diamond-on-Steel Performance
Our patented “diamond-on-steel” technology delivers low-friction sliding in both mud lubricated or sealed oil environments with exceptional load-bearing capability, enabling longer runs and reduced downtime.
Upgrade Without Replacing Your Fleet
Motor owners can maintain their existing tools while phasing out traditional bearing stacks as they wear out. DiaGlide offers a step-change in reliability without forcing fleet-wide replacement.
Technology
Traditional, prior art ball and stack technology; low reliability, high maintenance, high cost
The Discovery of DiaGlide™
DiaGlide brings the proven strength of PDC technology into bearing design in an all-new way.
Our patented Polished Diamond-on-Steel innovation eliminates the historical issues of misalignment and breakage that limited PDC bearings in the past. The result is a practical, field-ready technology that delivers the reliability and performance the industry has been waiting for.
