● More than 150,000 operating hours across North American basins
Engineered for high-temperature drilling.
When downhole temperatures push beyond conventional operating conditions, VPX provides a purpose-built elastomer solution. Developed using an HNBR polymer formulation, VPX is engineered for increased temperature resistance while maintaining the bond strength, chemical compatibility and power output required in demanding drilling environments.
With performance capabilities up to 400°F, VPX gives operators an elastomer designed specifically for applications where heat becomes a critical factor.
Key Performance Features:
● HNBR polymer formulation
● Temperature resistance up to 400°F
● Strong bond performance at elevated temperatures
● Hard-rubber formulation designed for optimum power output
● Compatible with OBM and WBM environments

Viking incorporates several patented manufacturing technologies that delivers 23% increased bond strength versus conventional elastomers, 20% tighter manufacturing tolerance band than competitors, and Viking is the only manufacturer capable of converting conventional stators into uniform rubber thickness with our DuraTorque® technology. The Viking DuraTorque uniform rubber thickness power section is the only stator that incorporates a mechanical bonding system between the tube and the elastomer. Viking’s patented interior profile creates a larger surface bonding area and a stepped interior profile for a mechanical interface that traditional machined profiles do not offer. Additionally, the modular construction of the DuraTorque allows the stator to flex but not break in tight doglegs, helping with build rates without sacrificing tube integrity.
As part of our commitment to precision and performance, Viking now operates a dedicated rotor machining facility at our Northpark location.
Using advanced Weingartner machines, we maintain complete control over the machining process — ensuring every rotor meets the highest standards of accuracy, durability, and quality.
Our investment in in-house manufacturing gives us the flexibility and speed to support our customers with industry-leading turnaround times and unmatched product consistency.
New and existing bearings are custom-engineered and designed by our team of experienced engineers to meet customers’ specific requirements and help operators overcome challenges, improving their returns. They are precision-ground to size and held to a tight tolerance.
Our radial bearings, flow bearings and flow diverters for drilling mud motors are available in many sizes with a durable design that provides superior wear resistance in the harshest drilling environments. These carbide matrix bearings and tungsten carbide tile bearings are available in sizes ranging from 2-7/8” to 12-1/4.”
Our engineering services are available to assist you in creating a custom bearing for your downhole motor application.
