Product Features
HIGH OEM Interchangeability: Fully compatible with auxiliary sheave assemblies supplied by BOMCO, HH, LS NOV, RG and other leading rig manufacturers, offering a reliable replacement option for both domestic and international drilling operations.
Durable Forged-Welded Construction: The sheave body is formed using a forged steel blank welded to a reinforced housing, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation under cyclic rope loads.
Heat-Treated Rope Groove: Medium frequency induction hardening enhances wear resistance, extending both the sheave lifespan and the working life of the wire rope.
Strict Quality Assurance: Every assembly undergoes MT and UT inspection before leaving the factory, ensuring the structural reliability required for hoisting applications.
All assemblies follow internal production standards aligned with API 8C 8C-0349 principles to ensure load integrity, safety, and long-term stability.
Source Manufacturer Advantages: With more than ten years devoted to sheave production, our factory provides stable supply, custom sizing options, and consistent quality for drilling contractors and OEM equipment builders.
MTPM Auxiliary sheave assemblies are classified as functional components within the hoisting and mast structure of land drilling rigs, rather than standalone equipment. They support the wire rope routing in the lifting system and help maintain proper tension, alignment, and operating stability. Although small compared with crown blocks or traveling blocks, these assemblies play a critical role in the overall reliability of the rig.
Our auxiliary sheaves are manufactured in a facility with more than a decade of production experience, using forging-welded construction and strict process control. Each sheave assembly is designed to integrate seamlessly with the mast, drawworks auxiliary hoisting systems, and structural lifting points on rigs ranging from 1000 HP to 3000 HP. We supply full interchangeability with sheave assemblies used by BOMCO, HH, LS NOV, and other major OEMs, supported by API 8C compliant quality control and documented inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the sheave OD and groove diameter range of this auxiliary sheave assembly?
The sheave outer diameter (OD) is 400mm (15 3/4 inches), and the groove diameter accommodates wire ropes ranging from 16mm to 24mm, making it suitable for a wide range of auxiliary hoisting applications on land drilling rigs.
Q
Which rig models and OEM brands is this auxiliary sheave assembly compatible with?
This assembly is fully compatible with rig series including ZJ30, ZJ40, ZJ50, and ZJ70, and is interchangeable with auxiliary sheave assemblies supplied by BOMCO, HH, LS NOV, RG, HONGHUA, RONGSHENG, and EMSCO, among other leading rig manufacturers.
Q
What quality inspections are performed before delivery?
Every assembly undergoes 100% Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) and 100% Ultrasonic Testing (UT) on all critical welds and forged sections prior to shipment. Third-party inspection reports are also available from Bureau Veritas (BV), CCS, ABS, and SJS upon request.
Q
What is the expected service life of the auxiliary sheave assembly?
Under standard drilling environments, the service life is 8 to 10 years. The induction-hardened rope grooves and alloy-steel forged-welded construction significantly extend fatigue resistance. Regular periodic inspection further ensures long-term reliability throughout the product's operational lifespan.
Q
Does this product comply with API 8C standards?
Yes. All assemblies are produced in accordance with API 8C principles. Our API 8C certificate number is 8C-0349. The production process follows strict quality control aligned with API 8C requirements to ensure load integrity, structural safety, and long-term operational stability.
Q
Can custom sizes or configurations be provided for specific rig requirements?
Yes. As a source manufacturer with over ten years of dedicated sheave production experience, we offer custom sizing options and tailored configurations to meet the specific requirements of drilling contractors and OEM equipment builders.
