Significant Developments in the Master Bushing Industry
Caterpillar, a prominent industrial equipment manufacturer, offers two distinct systems: the Abrasion Undercarriage System and the Heavy-Duty Extended Life (HDXL) Undercarriage System with DuraLink.
In addition to replacing SystemOne, it has been field-tested for use in abrasive materials, including sand, mud, crushed stone, clay, and gravel. Cat offers an Abrasion Undercarriage System as a factory-installed option or as a replacement option on all new D1 to D6 (small to medium) dozers as well as legacy D3 to D6 models.
Undercarriage systems powered by Cat Heavy Duty Extended Life (HDXL) are designed for low-to-medium abrasion, medium- to high-impact applications such as hard rock and landfills.
In September 2020, Hitachi ABB Power Grids announced the launch of its TXpert Ecosystem for the digitalization of transformers. The ecosystem facilitates data-driven intelligence and decision-making for the operation and maintenance of transformers and power grids.
The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of products, software, and services that work together and can be integrated with other digital equipment from other manufacturers.
The company has developed its own in-house scalable TXpertTM Ecosystem, featuring an open platform based on security standards developed by expert engineers to enable seamless collaboration between customers, partners, and peers.
In a recent report by CIGRE, the windings, tap-changers, and bushings of transformers are the most common locations for transformer faults. These issues are all mitigated through the TXpertTM Ecosystem.
Through their TXpertTM Ecosystem solutions for digital asset management of bushings, the firm can track the health of bushings in real-time, which allows us to take corrective action before bushing failure is likely.
Demand for Cost Effective Techniques Owing to Declining Oil Prices Amplifies Market Growth
Master bushing is mainly used in the well-drilling industry. It is mainly required for drilling oil wells, water wells, and heavy underground drilling. It is also known as rotary bushing.
Master bushing helps in rotating the kelly which makes it super easy for the oil drilling machine to be used effectively. It helps reduce labor costs and efforts put by manpower for heavy underground drilling.
Master bushing comprises two types, firstly those which function to move the square drive kelly bushing and secondly those which move the pin drive kelly bushing.
Numerous innovations have been introduced by prominent manufacturers, positively impacting market growth. Previously, master bushing could only be used with adapters and spacers, but now only one needs to be used.
Such an innovation has proven to elongate lifespans of master bushings, helping achieve significant cost savings. This factor is anticipated to widen growth prospects for the market in forthcoming years.
Off-Shore Drilling Generates Heightened Revenue for Master Bushing
Unceasing demand for oil by various industries is continuing to keep demand for master bushing systems elevated since the past several years.
Governments across the world are allocating massive proportions of their annual budgets to fulfilling this demand for oil, leading to an increasing in off-shore drilling and exploration projects. This, in turn, is positively influencing sales of master bushing systems.
Additionally, new technologies and increasing demand for renewable energy resources and cost-saving initiatives will help the industry expand across the forecast period. Rising prices of on-shore oil is further reinforcing the market’s expansion prospects in the off-shore segment.
