ABSTRACT:
A well driving and monitoring system for a well of the reciprocating rod type utilizes a right angle drive transmission with a load cell therein arranged to monitor torque loads and thus continuously monitor the loads on the reciprocating rod of the pumping unit. The monitoring system utilizes a first set point warning to create a signal which may be transmitted to a central station if exceeded and a second higher set point to shut down the pump if exceeded. A plug in strip chart recorder is employed to permit the operator visually to see the loads during a pump cycle so that analysis, adjustments or corrections can quickly be made. The system is secured against vandalism. In addition, a simplified adjustable counterweight is provided which can readily be altered in capacity and field adjusted as to position. An improved and simplified crank connection on the output shaft of the right angle drive facilitates assembly and disassembly while providing a narrower, cleaner, more compact drive. With the present invention an enclosed drive unit is provided avoiding exposed belt drives normally subject to adjustment, maintenance wear and vandalism.
