Sucker Rod Pump Valve Cages

Harbison-Fischer Sucker Rod Pump Valve Cages are offered in various materials and designs for abrasion, corrosion and high pressure.

One Piece Cages

Harbison-Fischer cages are precision components machined and inspected to assure the user of excellent design and high quality. Steel cages are made from a high strength alloy steel for high pressure pumping conditions. Stainless steel cages are available in 303/304 stainless steel for corrosive service and 316 stainless steel for pitting corrosive conditions. Brass and monel can be specified for the worst downhole corrosion with monel also having the strength of alloy steel.
The following one piece cage materials can be inlaid with a hard Stellite lining on the ball guides to extend cage life:

Alloy Steel
Stainless Steels
Monel

Harbison-Fischer John Martin Rubber Lined Cages

Harbison-Fischer manufacturers the HF Rubber Lined Cage to the same high quality standards as its other cages. The HF Rubber Lined Cage is offered as a solution for hard pumping conditions that damage other cages. The moderately hard rubber lining absorbs the impact of the ball on the pumping downstroke and guides it precisely back to the center of the seat on the upstroke. The rubber lining snaps into the cage with a positive locking design and is further retained by a corrosion resistant epoxy cement. The rubber lining is molded from Viton rubber and precision machined to the final dimensions. Viton has an excellent history of being resistant to downhole fluids. HF Rubber Lined Cages are made from alloy steel, stainless steel (303/304 or 316), brass and monel.

Insert Guided Cages

Harbison-Fischer manufactures a three piece, "bottom load," insert guided cage that some operators prefer for tough pumping conditions. The three components are the outer shell, the insert and the spacer with o-ring. The outer shell can be purchased in alloy steel, stainless steel (303/304 or 316), brass or monel. The insert is precision manufactured from a hard, tough, corrosion resistant Stellite alloy. The spacer is available in the same materials as the shell.
