Paper: Foundation And Installation Of Beam Type Pumping Units

All types of machinery such as generators, process machinery, forges, machine tools, etc., are mounted on rigid and heavy foundations. The pumping unit is no more nor less than a piece of machinery designed in such a way and with suitable capacity to move a string of sucker rods up and down in a well thereby actuating the pump. In order for this machine to operate properly and give satisfactory service, it must be mounted on a suitable foundation.
