After the packers and associated  equipment are in place, travel joint may be activated. Depending on the application, travel joint may  be activated by shear pins or standard wireline tools. The travel joint may be sheared by tension or compression. They may also be sheared during initial  completion operations or left the pin to be sheared at a predetermined value later. The travel joint  can be pinned at any point in the stroke. The release value can be varied by the number of shear  screws. The tool can compensate for 10 ft tubing movement.
