LUFKIN Rod Guides

Reduce rod and tubing wear, improve well efficiency, and extend equipment lifespan by ensuring smoother, more consistent rod movement — engineered with advanced thermoplastic designs for deviated wells, high-temperature environments, corrosive conditions, and high water-cut scenarios.

Key Features/Specs:

• Bullet design: curved vane architecture distributes load across a wider tubing area; enhances rod string rotation with rod rotators; 5-1/2" size gives superior protection with greater erodible wear volume; molded wear indicators for visual replacement confirmation; extended tapered ends minimize fluid drag and corrosion on leading edges
• Bullet EX (Xtreme-LT): minimizes guide-induced corrosion failures; narrow vanes allow greater fluid bypass; extended length stabilizes flow before exit; recommended for corrosive environments, high production rates, and viscous fluids
• Material options: PPAU/PK-U (non-reinforced, lower abrasiveness, coated/lined tubing); PK-F (20% glass-fiber, non-hygroscopic); PPS (40% glass-fiber, below 400°F, superior chemical resistance); PPS-Max (premium, extreme temp/sideload, Eagle Ford optimized); PPAF (33% glass-filled, hygroscopic, limited by water cut)
