Training
Centrilift offers high quality education and training programs,
both for Centrilift associates who design, build and service
products, and for customers. A 13,600 square foot, modern
training facility in Claremore includes three media-equipped
classrooms, two computer labs, and a shop training area. The
new Aberdeen Training Centre is an additional resource
to meet the training needs of Eastern Hemisphere locations.
Centrilift educational development programs train over
500 employees and customers annually in over 100 different
training events in field locations as well as Centrilift's training

Surface Control Systems Seals
Centrilift seal sections have earned a reputation for excellence in
some of the worlds most demanding applications where they are
simultaneously exposed to harsh environments and extremely
high thrust loads.
Seal sections contain expansion chambers that continuously
equalize the motor oil to the wellbore fluid pressure throughout
the life of the motor. Seals also protect motors from well fluid
contamination while supporting the pump shaft thrust load.
Seal lubrication is critical, so Centrilift uses only top-grade
synthetic lubricants with high dielectric strength for maximum
performance and reliability.
Inside the seal, a centrifugal pump circulates oil through a heat
exchanger section and filter screen. The cool, clean oil is then
directed onto the thrust bearing pads. This distinct Centrilift
advantage provides better-lubricated, cooler-running bearings
and longer bearing life.
Centrilift seals are now available with SealLast bags. This
