The present invention relates to 
electricity-saving technology of various beam type oil extractor in 
oil field. An energy-saving startup wheel of 
oil field oil extractor which can prolong starting time, decrease equipped 
capacitor and a method of energy-saving are disclosed. The startup wheel includes: adjustable mechanical limit twist member placed in the wheel case, non-rigid connection between wheel case and electrical 
machine shaft. Method: computing new electrical 
machine minimum theoreticl 
horsepower by using oil extractor static twist resistance, selecting average 
load ratio, selecting little capacity new electrical 
machine with high slip ratio, computing oil extractor power regulated by 
flywheel; computing startup wheel outer dimension, adjusting startup wheel limit-torsional moment;determining 
flywheel minimum 
inertia to design 
flywheel; correcting static twist resistance chart according to increased additional weight number on the beam, verifying average 
load ratio of new electrical machine. Because the invention adopts startup wheel, flywheel, beam balancing and selecting corresponding new electrical machine, 
electricity-saving ratio lies in 30-50% is obtained in economical, maximum, safe and reliable, and comparing with the present technology, it induces the installation power reducing greatly 1 / 3-1 / 4.
