The main shaft (B) of the crusher is radially guided in the rolling contact bushing in the upper main shaft bearing (A) and in the inner eccentric bushing in the lower eccentric bearing (G). The thrust bearing assembly (J) arranged on the piston of the hydraulic cylinder (K) ensures the axial support of the main shaft.
The rotation of the drive motor is transmitted via the transmission gear (H) to the eccentric bushing in the eccentric bearing (G). This rotating eccentric bushing is responsible for generating the wobbling motion of the main shaft (B) – this wobbling motion is characteristic of cone crushers .
Consequently, the crushing gap between the stationary concaves in the crusher housing and the wobbling crushing cone changes continuously. The feed material that enters the crushing chamber from the top is continuously crushed between the crushing tools (C) as it falls by gravitation until it exits the crushing chamber at the bottom (F).
The crushing gap is adjusted by hydraulically lifting or lowering the main shaft. This hydraulic main shaft adjustment is particularly used with abrasive feed material and frequent corrections of gap setting. It also serves as overload protection when uncrushable foreign matter finds its way into the crushing chamber.
Easy restart under load in an emergency due to hydraulic main shaft lifting and lowering. Main shaft “jumping” under adverse crushing conditions is avoided by a pressurized hydraulic system ensuring permanent contact of the individual thrust bearing discs. The use of a bevel gear set with cyclo-palloid toothing allows the installation of drive motors with higher ratings, if required.
