GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the function, operation
and maintenance of the Eckel Model 20 Hydraulrc
Power Casing Tong. This section provides a func-
tional description, system specif ications, and a de-
scription of options and accessories available. Sec-
tions 2 through 5 present the operatrng and main-
tenance aspects of the tong and Section 6 provides
a fully illustrated parts list w¡th spare recommen-
datrons.
The Model 20 Power Casing Tong, Figure 1-.1,
handles casing sizes as small as B-5/B inches and as
large as 20 inches in diameter. The open-throat
design, combined with high-speed operation,
assures both ease and speed in casing handling,
A safety door on the open throat helps insure
against accidents. The following paragraphs de-
scribe the functions of the tong during casing
makeup or breakout operations.

FUNCTIONAL DESCR IPTION
Operat ing f rom a hyd rau lic power un it, the
power casing tong provides a maximum torque of
35,000 ft-lbs. The heart of the unit is a head-clos-
ing system which forces the heads together and ro-
tates them by means of a cam-type rotary gear.
The rotary gear is driven by a two-speed gear train
powered from a piston-type hydraulic motor.
In operation, the tong is suspended over the
drtll hole on a chain bridle. A snubbing line re-
strains the tong from moving around the pipe as

applied through screw-type hose connectors hav-
ing built-in check valves. To prevent cross-connec-
tion of the hoses, the pressure hose from the power
unit is designed to mate with a 'l-inch connector
and the return hose mates with a 1-114 inch con-
nector. Connection of the hoses opens the check
valves to provide hydraulic pressure to the tong.
The tong control lever acts as a throttle valve
for the unit. Pushing the lever applies pressure to
drive the motor in a forward direction (for make-
up operation) and pulling the lever applies pressure
in a reverse d irection (for breakout). While the
lever is in a neutral position, f luid circulates f reely
through the valve and back to the return line.
An adjustable relief valve permits adjustment

Most users set this valve for maximum oressure so
that full pressure f rom the power unit is applied to
the motor; however, you may set the valve for
lower pressures if desired. The maximum pressure
available, of course, depends upon the power un¡t.
Eckel Manufacturing Company recommends a
power unit that will deliver 3000 PSI pressure;
however, a power unit capable of delivering 2500
PSI at 30 GPM or 1.000 PSI at 65 GPM is neces-
sary to maintain maximum speed and torque.
A hydraulic motor is mounted on the tong top
plate through a motor adapter, and the other hy-
draulic plumbing components are also mounted on
the tong top plate.
GEAR TRAIN AND CLUTCH FUNCTION.
Closure and rotation of the pipe-gripping heads are
accomplished by means of a large rotary gear hav-
ing its inner diameter formed into a double cam
surface. The rotary gear rides on a double ring of
cam-follower rollers. A cutout on one side of the
rotary gear accepts the vertical pipe being worked.
This topic explains how mechanical power is trans-
mitted from the hvdraulic motor to turn the ro-
tary gear in either direction.
bly, two pinion idlers, two rotary idlers and the
rotary gear. The selected high- or low-speed clutch
gear engages the corresponding high- or low-speed
pinion gear, and the pinion output gear drives the
two pinion idlers which drive the two rotary idlers.
In driving the rotary gear, two rotary idler gears
are necessary to bridge throat cutout gap.
Clutch and Speed Shift. The clutch assembly
(F igure 1 3) provides h igh- or low-speed opera-
tion, allowing faster operation when high torque
is not required. When higher torque is needed,
the low-speed gear permrts the operator to slow
the speed down and increase the torque,
The operator shifts the speed by raising or
lowering a shifting lever on top of the tong. As
shown in the illustration, lifting the shift lever lifts
the shifting yoke, which lifts the shifting collar. In
this position, the shifting collar mechanically
couples the clutch shaft with the h igh-speed clutch
gear. Lowering the shifting lever lowers the shifting
yoke which lowers the shifting collar, thereby
mechanically coupling the clutch shaft with the
low-speed clutch gear. Then the selected clutch
gear drives the corresponding pinion gear as pre-
viously described. An adjustable spring detent on

in the selected position until the operator moves
the lever once again.
HEAD OPERATIONS. The heads are enclosed
within the rotary gear by the top and bottom cage
plates. The heads are closed, rotated and opened
by the combined actions of the rotary gear, brake
bands and backing pin.
Rotary Gear/Head Functions. During makeup
operations, the pipe to be turned is first enclosed
in the tong, and the throat safety door is closed.
Then, with the backing pin in the makeup position
(as described later) the operator pushes the head
control lever forward to cause the heads to bite
and rotate the pipe. To release the heads and back
off from the pipe, the operator pulls the tong con-
trol lever outward.
During breakout operations, the backup pin
is placed in the breakout position so that the heads
bite in the reverse direction (see Backing the Heads
for Breakout Operation). Then the operator pulls
the tong control lever to cause the heads to bite
and breakout the pipe. Finally, he pushes the lever
forward to release the heads and back them off the
pipe.
As illustrated in Figure 1-4, the head-biting
action is a function of the rotary gear inner surface
cam design. When the rotary gear begins to rotate,
the heaC rollers roll uo onto the cam surface and
force the heads inward from the oivot points until
the heads bite the pipe. Further rotation then turns
the pipe to makeup (or breakout) the joint.
Rotary Gear and Head Cage Rotation. Figure
1-5 illustrates the cam follower rollers that permit
the semi-independent rotation of the cage plates
 bottom cage plate also rotates on a roller track
identically with the top cage plate. This plate is
bolted to the top cage plate to enclose the heads.
The heads are pivoted from the top and bottom
cage plates to bite or release as brought about by
the cam action of the rotary gear on the head
ro | | ers.

I Brake Band Function. Consider again the ac-

HEADS OPEN HEADS CLOSED

and rotary gear. The f igure illustrates how the top
cage plate is free to rotate on the track formed by
a ring of cam follower rollers while the rotary gear
is turned on its own circle of cam followers. The
tions of the rotary gear cam and heads in view of
the freedom that the cage plates have to rotate.
It becomes evident that, if the cage plates have un-
restrained freedom to rotate, the heads will simply
move with the rotary gear and will not cam up on
the rotary cams to force the biting action. Figure
1-6 illustrates how brake bands are olaced around
the cage top and bottom plates to exert continuous
friction on these plates and to restrict their f ree-
dom to move.
Thus it is evident that the brake bands do not
permit the cage plates (and heads) to turn freely
when the rotary gear turns. Rather, the cage plates

are held stat¡onary as the head rollers roll up onto
the cam surfaces to force the heads in against the
pipe. As the heads bite the pipe, the friction of the
brake bands is overcome. Then the cage plates be-
gin to rotate with the rotary gear, thus turning the
pipe that is now gripped f irmly by the heads.
Backing the Heads for Breakout Operation.
The backing pin shown in Figure 1-5 permits the
heads to bite in the forward direction for makeuo
and in the reverse direction for breakout.
When the pin is placed in the left-hand hole,
forward operat¡on causes the heads to bite and
rotate to make up the joint. However, reverse
operat¡on causes the backing lug to strike the back-
ing pin and force the cage plates around with the
rotary gear. Thus, in the reverse direction, the head
rollers cannot cam up on the rotarv cam and the
heads do not bite.
lf the pin is placed in the right-hand hole, the
opposite action occurs and reverse operation causes
the heads to b¡te, while forward operation causes
the backing lug to stroke the backing pin and force
the head cage around with the rotary gear, thus
inhibiting the heads from biting in the forward
d irect io n .
In summary then: for makeup, the pin is
placed in the left-hand hole and the heads bite in
forward direction; and for breakout, the pin is
placed in the right-hand hole and the heads bite in
the reverse direction.
Open Throat and Safety Door. The open throat
design permits ease of operation by permitting
entry of vertical pipe that projects above the level
of the tong. For safety purposes it is necessary that
the throat opening be closed during operation to
prevent personnel injuries or damage to the equip-
ment. A double safety door (Figure 1-6) serves
both to close off the front during operation and to
provide an extra margin of support for the housing
du ring h igh-torque operation.

HYDRAULIC POWER UN¡T SPECIFICA-
TIONS. The power tong is designed to be powered

OPTIONS AND ACCESSO R I ES
Options for the 20" casing tong include lift-
cylinder with lift cylinder control, spring hanger,
and torque meter, These optional items are de-
scribed in the following paragraphs.
LIFT CYL¡NDER AND CONTROLS. A Iift
cylinder as illustrated in Figure 2-3 is opt¡onally
supplied with the 20" tong. In operation, this
cylinder provides a means for raising and lowering
the tong during operations.
Lift Cylinder Control. When a lift cylinder is
ordered with a tong the tong contains an additional
control lever for controlling the left cylinder up or
down. The control lever-operated valve is identical
to the tong operating control lever. This lever is
illustrated in Figure 2-3 and its operation is shown
in Figure 3-2 and Table 3-1. Pulling the valve out-
ward provides hydraulic pressure from the hy-
draulic power unit to operate the lift cylinder
upward, and thus to raise the tong while pushing
the control lever forward operates the cylinder
downward to lower the tong. The center lever po-
sition is the neutral position that does not operate
the tonq in either direction.

These are average requirements for a new tong. There may

be some variations from tong to tong.

L¡ft Cyl¡nder. While the lift cyl¡nder may be
connected directly to the tong bridle, it is sug-
gested that the optional spring mount be inserted
between the lift cylinder and the bridle to permit
tong movement during makeup or breakout opera-
tions without exertinq undue stress on the bridle
and the lift cylinder.
SPRING HANGER. The optional spring hanger
(Figure 2-3) is designed to permit the tong to move
up or down to allow for thread length in makeup
and breakout operations. When used, the spring
hanger should be attached directly to the tong
bridle ring and used as a hanger for the tong.
TOROUE GAUGE ASSEMBLY. The optional
torque gauge assembly (Figure Z-21 is used to mea-
sure the torque exerted while the tong is used in
makeup or breakout operations. Consisting of a
hydraulic cylinder and torque meter connected
together by a pressure hose, the torque gauge
assembly senses and indicates the torque developed
during an operation. For operat¡on, the hydraullc
cylinder is connected by a shackle to the rear of
the tong; and a snubber line is connected to the
cylinder. The snubber line is tied off to a solid part
of the rig structure to form an angle of 90' in order
to yield accurate torque readings.

1. Remove two head p¡vot bolts Figure 1-4.

2. Swing in and lift out the heads.

3. Select proper heads for pipe to be worked
and install in head cage in reverse order of
steos 1 and 2.
Tong Space Requirements. You should con-
sider the space requirements of the tong, both in
storage and in operation. Figure 2-1 gives the tong
dimensions.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS. Before installing
the tong for f ield operations, you must be sure that
an appropriate power unit is available and that the
power unit is adjusted for use with the tong. To
operate the tong within its full capability, the re-
lief valve on the hydraulic power unit should be
adjusted to 2500 pounds per square inch and the
bypass valve should be adjusted to 900 - 1000 PSl.
Refer to the power unit manual for the procedure
on power unit valve adjustments.
Figure 2-1. Tong Dimensions
ACCESSORY CONSIDERATIONS. Tons in-
stallation requires that the necessary accessories
be available for the type of operatlon to be per-
formed.
Installat¡on of Torque Gauge Assembly. Mea-
surement of the applied torque requires a torque
gauge assembly installed on the equipment, Once
installed, the torque gauge assembly becomes an
integral part of the unit. To install the torque
gauge on the tong, proceed as follows.
1. Using three mounting screws, mount
torque gauge into position on torque-
gauge plate, Figure 2-2.
2. Route hose to avoid interference with tonq
operat io n.

Lift Cylinder Considerations. lf the system is

not counter oatanced, a lift cylinder should be
used. Also, if an Eckel lift cylinder is to be used,
the tong must be equipped for operating with a lift
cylindei. For lift cylinder operat¡on, the tong must
háve an additional valve section' The lift cylinder
should be suspended from the line that will hang
the tong as shown in Figure 2-3.

Spring Hanger Consideration. A typical spring

hangér installation is shown in Figure 2-3' For a
TURN-
couñter-balanced support Iine, the spring mount is BUCKLES
suspended from the line. When a lift cylinder is (4)
us"'d, thu spring mount may be installed above or
below the lift cvlinder as described.

CONNECTING THE HYDRAULIC LINES.
The hydraulic couplings, Figure 2-4, contain check
valves to prevent loss of hydraulic f Iuid when the
lines are disconnected. The check valves are closed
until the hydraulic hoses are connected. Proper
tightening of the hydraulic hose connectors opens
these check valves. However pressure may be in the
tong when the lines are disconnected so that the
valves resist opening. In such case, the connectors
may seem to reach the end of thread travel when,
in reality, the check valve operation is restricting
further tightening. When making up these connec-
tions you should be sure that you have tightened
the valves tight and have not simply reached a
"false" tightening due to the resistance of the
check valves.

CI\UTION
To be sure connectors are com-
pletely tight, first tighten them un-
til travelis restricted and the end of
the thread travel appears to be
reached. Then try to tighten the
valve further to be sure first restric-
tion was not a false tightness. Then
continue to t¡ghten the f¡tting until
connection is tight.
? lf a lift cylinder is used, hook up the hose
from lift cylinder to connector provided on
tong.
4. Start power unit and allow hydraulic f luid
to circulate through tong untilfluid reaches
operati ng temperature.
NOTE
This period will vary according to
the ambient temperature, In severe
weather conditions, you may need
to operate system for several min-
utes before using tong, On the
other hand. in warm climates a
very brief warmup period will be
adeouate.
While system warms up, check connections
to be sure that no leaks occur. Retighten
connection if leaking.
NOTE
Refer to table under Lubrication
for recommended hvdraulic fluid.
WARN ING
When replacing hydraulic hoses,
piping and fittings, be sure replace-
ment components are rated at no
less than 3,000 PSI working pres-
sure and 10,000 PSI burst pressure.
