ABSTRACT:
A rotor placer is located within an oil well for stabilizing the rotor of a progressive cavity pump. A tubular housing is connected between the production string and pump stator. A driveshaft is installable within the housing and is connected between the rod string and the pump rotor. The driveshaft latches into a cylindrical sleeve installed concentrically within the housing. The housing is distended outwardly to accept the sleeve which has a bore similar to that of the production tubing. Bearings are interposed in the annulus between the sleeve and housing for concentrically and axially stabilizing the rod string. The sleeve is sealed against the housing to protect the bearings. A passageway is formed in the driveshaft to bypass pumped well fluids around the bearings. The driveshaft-to-sleeve latch comprises a plurality of axially-extending and interconnected slots formed in the inside wall of the sleeve and radially outward biased pins extending from the driveshaft. Every second hole locks the pin within the slots, and every alternate hole contains wedges for displacing the pins radially inwards and thereby disengaging the pins from the slots so that the driveshaft is released from the sleeve.
