Abstract

See full text

A polished rod clamp includes a clamp housing having a central passage passing through a tapered bore. A wedge lock is arranged in the tapered bore such that a first surface of the wedge lock is in sliding engagement with a tapered surface of the tapered bore and a second surface of the wedge lock grips a rod in the central passage in a lock position. A first reciprocating piston is arranged to apply a first force to the wedge lock that effects a relative sliding motion between the wedge lock and the tapered surface in a first direction corresponding to the lock direction of the wedge lock. A second reciprocating piston is arranged to apply a second force to the wedge lock that effects a relative sliding motion between the wedge lock and the tapered surface in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.
