A mud pump crosshead assembly works inside the power end, transmitting reciprocating motion while running along controlled sliding surfaces. For replacement and OEM projects, the crosshead body, the bronze sliding surfaces and the inspection method all have to follow the applicable drawing—not a generic catalogue description.
FH Petroleum manufactures mud pump crosshead assemblies from customer drawings, part information and agreed technical requirements. The manufacturing photographs on this page show a completed crosshead fitted with segmented bronze shoes, detailed machined features and portable coordinate measurement of the finished assembly.
Send us your pump model, drawing or part number for a manufacturing review.
The crosshead is a working component of the mud pump power end. Its machined body connects the reciprocating drive components and is guided as the pump operates. Because the crosshead runs in relation to other power-end parts, its critical geometry cannot be treated in isolation.
FH approaches each OEM mud pump crosshead as a drawing-based manufacturing project. We review the supplied geometry, material requirements, mating features, bronze-shoe arrangement, inspection scope and documentation needs before confirming production. This allows the manufacturing and inspection plan to follow the specified design rather than relying on unverified assumptions about interchangeability.
Where an existing part is supplied as a reference, it should be accompanied by the available drawing, pump model, part number and acceptance requirements. A sample can support evaluation, but production dimensions and tolerances should be agreed in controlled technical documentation.
In the assembly shown here, the bronze-colored sliding surface is divided into multiple fitted segments around the crosshead body. The photographs clearly show the segment boundaries and fastening locations. Whether individual segments are replaceable in service depends on the applicable crosshead design and maintenance specification.
The segmented arrangement makes the shoe interfaces, fastening locations and fitted profile important manufacturing details. Each segment has to correspond with the crosshead body and with the geometry defined for the completed assembly. The purpose of the bronze shoes is to provide the specified sliding interface between the crosshead and its guide system; the exact material grade, segment design and acceptance criteria must come from the applicable drawing or customer specification.
FH does not apply one unsupported clearance or material statement to every mud pump design. During quotation, we ask the buyer to identify the pump model and provide the drawing, part number or technical specification so that the bronze-shoe configuration can be reviewed correctly.
The photographs and video on this page are taken from actual FH manufacturing material, not stock imagery. The video documents turning and CNC finish machining, while the photographs show the completed crosshead, its segmented bronze sliding surfaces and detailed machined features at close range.

Close-up photographs document the top machined face, main bore and side flange of the crosshead body. These images give buyers direct visual evidence of the physical component and its finished features—not simply a rendered model or a generic catalogue image.
The machining route for a specific order depends on the drawing and supplied condition of the workpiece. Tooling, setup sequence and in-process checks are selected for the geometry that must be produced. FH can review customer requirements for replacement parts, new-build projects and drawing-based OEM manufacture.
Machining an individual bronze segment is only part of the job. The completed crosshead has to be evaluated as an assembly. The photographs show the segmented bronze shoes fitted to the machined body, including the visible segment boundaries, fastening holes and relationship between the bronze surface and adjacent crosshead features.
For an OEM project, shoe fit should be controlled by the specified drawing and inspection plan. Relevant characteristics may include the fitted profile, the location of segment interfaces, alignment with reference features and other drawing-defined dimensions. The exact characteristics and tolerances vary by design, so FH confirms them against the customer’s documentation rather than publishing a universal value.
If the project includes an existing assembly, send clear photographs of the wear pattern and mating guide condition together with the drawing or part information. That context helps the technical review, although it does not replace defined acceptance criteria.
The inspection photograph shows an operator using a portable articulated coordinate measuring arm fitted with a contact probe to collect measurement points from the completed crosshead and its segmented bronze surfaces. Equipment of this type is also commonly described as a portable CMM. To distinguish it from a fixed bridge-type coordinate measuring machine, this page uses the more precise term portable coordinate measuring arm.
Inspection scope is agreed for the order. Depending on the drawing and purchase requirements, deliverables can be discussed during quotation, including dimensional records, material documentation or other specified quality documents. Only documentation included in the confirmed order should be treated as part of the supply.
This visible inspection step supports the manufacturing record by showing coordinate measurement being performed on the fitted component. The photograph documents the inspection activity; the applicable tolerances, measurement results and final acceptance status are defined separately for each order.
FH Petroleum supports enquiries for replacement and OEM mud pump crosshead manufacturing. To evaluate the project efficiently, please provide:
After reviewing this information, FH can identify open technical questions and prepare a manufacturing quotation. If proprietary information is involved, send only the documentation needed for the initial review and discuss confidentiality requirements with the sales team.
You can also review our mud pump crosshead products, mud pump spare parts and quality control capabilities.
FH accepts drawing-based enquiries. Manufacturability, material, tolerances, inspection scope, quantity and documentation requirements are reviewed before an order is confirmed.
They can be reviewed as part of the specified assembly when they are included in the customer’s drawing and order requirements. The exact segment design and material must be confirmed for the project.
The photograph shows coordinate measurement with a portable articulated measuring arm fitted with a contact probe on a crosshead with segmented bronze shoes. This equipment is often referred to as a portable CMM, but it is different from a fixed bridge-type coordinate measuring machine. The applicable tolerances and results are defined by the project drawing and inspection record.
Send the pump model, drawing or part number, material/specification, quantity, required inspection documents and delivery destination. Photographs of an existing part can provide useful context.
