A system for use in a mineral extraction system includes a spinner assembly having a motor configured to drive rotation of a roller shaft. The spinner assembly also includes a roller non-rotatably coupled to the roller shaft and configured to contact a first tubular structure, and rotation of the roller is configured to cause rotation of the first tubular structure until the first tubular structure is spun into a second tubular structure. The spinner assembly further includes a detection wheel coupled to the roller shaft and configured to contact the first tubular structure, and the detection wheel is configured to rotate with the first tubular structure and to rotate independently of the roller. The spinner assembly further includes a sensor configured to detect rotation of the detection wheel.

In one aspect there is provided a pipe spinner and lifter for supporting and rotating a cylindrical member having a longitudinal axis. The pipe spinner and lifter comprises a pair of jaws that pivot about a pivot member, to allow the pipe spinner and lifter to actuate between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A plurality of rollers are mounted on the jaws, each rotatable about a rolling axis. When the pipe spinner and lifter is in the closed configuration, the cylindrical member can be rotatably captured by the pipe spinner and lifter, allowing the cylindrical member to rotate about its longitudinal axis. Preferably, the plurality of rollers are arranged in a substantially mirrored arrangement on the jaws. More preferably, the rolling axis of each of the rollers is substantially parallel to the cylindrical member's longitudinal axis.

A plug removal tool may include a mount for attaching the plug removal tool to a structure and a plug nut. Additionally, the plug removal tool may include at least one rigid arm extending between the mount and the plug nut. Further, the at least one arm may have at least one translational degree of movement and at least one rotational degree of movement.

The invention relates to an apparatus (100) for producing and/or disengaging a fluid flow-capable medical threaded connection of a first connecting element (1) and a second connecting element (6), in particular for producing and/or disengaging a Luer lock connection, wherein the apparatus (100) comprises a first receiving device (20) for receiving the first connecting element (1) and a second receiving device (30) for receiving the second connecting element (6), wherein the first receiving device (20) and the second receiving device (30) are rotatable relative to each other about a common screwing axis (V) and displaceable relative to each other along said screwing axis (V), wherein the apparatus (100) is designed to relatively move the first receiving device (20) and the second receiving device (30) toward each other such that such that the first connecting element (1) and the second connecting element (6) are screwed together or the threaded connection disengaged, and wherein the associated connecting element (1, 6) can be introduced into the first receiving device (20) and/or the second receiving device (30) in the radial direction (R) relative to the screwing axis (V). The invention further relates to a corresponding method.

A torque wrench for multiple bolts or nuts comprises multiple drive spindles that are arranged annularly around a center and are equipped or able to be equipped at the end with respective torque-applying tools, and a ratchet drive, associated with each drive spindle and driven by means of a hydraulic piston drive, for driving the drive spindles. In addition to the ratchet drive, a locking ratchet for locking the drive spindle acts on each drive spindle to keep it from turning back when exercising a return stroke movement of the drive ratchet. The locking ratchets are arranged in a locking bracket, which is penetrated by the drive spindles. The locking bracket has means for loosening the locking ratchets.

A system for making a connection between a first tubular member and a second tubular member having coincident bores for conveying a fluid, the connection having an axis in the general direction of flow of said fluid therethrough, the system comprising a connection (1) and a tensioning tool (100), the connection having a first tubular end (6) comprising a first end flange (16) having an end face (17) and a collar (20) comprising a sleeve (21) and an end stop (30) fixed to the sleeve (21), said sleeve (21) arranged about said flange (18) and said end stop (30) arranged about said tubular end (6), said collar (20) slideable along said tubular end (6), the connection further having a second tubular end (7) comprising a second end flange (43) having an end face (45) and a locking nut (50) about and slideable along said first tubular end (7), the tensioning tool (100) for applying axial tension to said collar (30) relative to said second tubular end (7) characterised in that at least one of said sleeve (20) and said second tubular end (7) has a set of parallel circumferential grooves (23,47) therein and said tensioning tool (100) has a set of ridges (142), the system comprising the steps of moving said set of ridges (142) into said set of grooves (23,47) and applying an axial tension to said collar (20) relative to said second tubular end (7).
