Design

TIX-TSK manufacture Rock Bits of various sizes ranging from 4 inches (101.6mm) to 26 inches (660.4mm) with numerous combinations of tooth design, bearing, and other options. We have manufactured approximately 500 different types of rock bits. Our products are carefully designed, simulated, and tested to provide safe and high-quality products. Both fluid and strength simulations are conducted in the development of our products.

We design and manufacture over 10 new types of rock bits annually to meet the needs of our customers.

Optimal tooth designs

We have a lineup of more than 300 types of tooth bits and more than 200 types of insert bits.

We always have more than 260 types in stock.

Side-scrapers, PCD tips, and stabilizer pads are some of the options available for enhancing the durability of bits.
Our tooth designs for both steel-tooth and
insert bits are IADC-compliant.

Variety of inserts

Different types of inserts are available to suit the use on various formations. The combination of inserts may also customized.

Hard Facing Technology

Hardfacing greatly extends the life of rockbits.

We have developed our own materials, and our selected engineers carry out construction.

Sealed Journal Bearing

Sealed journal bearings have the highest performance among TSK bits.
The bearing material is made of highly wear-resistant material, further increasing the durability of the bit.

The seal has been specially developed for high-speed rotary and motor drilling.

Various options available

Side-Scrapers

Side-scrapers are highly effective in enhancing durability because they are installed close to gage teeth to protect them from wear. Side-scraper is a standard specification for bits designed for geothermal drilling where gage durability is especially important.

Diamond Inserts　Click here
A diamond insert with excellent wear resistance is available as an insert for the gauge surface.
The user can choose the placement rate of diamonds and can respond according to the situation.

Stabilizer Pads　Click here

Stabilizer pads may be installed to minimize the off-center revolution of bits. As they protrude from the body and scrape the wall of the drilling hole, the carbide inserts and hard facing are added to protect the pads from abrasion.

Simulation

Fluid Simulation

When making a new type of rock bits or when changing the nozzle angle or the shape of the water passage of a bit, fluid simulations are conducted to check the flow in the water passage and around the cutters.

We conduct crash analyses and consider the optimal shape of the water passage for the rock bit.

Strength Simulation

Because rock bits are subjected to stresses of many kinds, strength simulations are conducted to the parts and to the completed bits. The data obtained from the simulations is utilized to make products that are long-lasting.
