In the kinetostatic study of the mechanism of the sucker rod pumping units, the cinematic motion parameters of the elements are considered to be known, assuming that the cranks have a constant angular velocity imposed by the operating functioning conditions of the pumping unit. The paper analyzes the dynamic response of the mechanism of these pumping units, which implies the determination of the variation of the angular acceleration of the cranks during the operating cinematic cycle. A series of results regarding the determination of the variation of the angular acceleration of the cranks during the cinematic cycle in the case of the mechanism of a C-640D-305-120 pumping unit are presented. The obtained results are checked by comparing the experimental curves of variations of the acceleration at the polished rod with those obtained by simulation using a computer program developed by the authors in which the angular acceleration of the cranks was taken into consideration.
