The cone crusher clamping ring, a key fastening component between the adjustment ring and lower frame, secures the concave and stabilizes the bowl assembly. It fixes the concave, locks adjustments, distributes loads, and enhances sealing, enduring high clamping forces and cyclic loads. Structurally, it includes a high-strength cast/forged steel ring body, precision clamping surface, bolt holes, lifting lugs, locating features, and reinforcement ribs, with optional wear-resistant coatings. Manufacturing involves sand casting (ZG35CrMo) or forging (35CrMo), followed by heat treatment, machining (CNC turning/grinding for precision), and surface treatment. Quality control covers material testing (composition, mechanics), dimensional checks (CMM, laser tracking), structural integrity tests (UT, MPT), mechanical performance trials (clamping force, fatigue), and assembly validation. These ensure it reliably secures components for consistent crusher operation in mining and aggregate processing.
The cone crusher lower frame, a foundational structural component, supports the entire assembly, distributes loads to the foundation, houses critical parts (thrust bearing, main shaft socket), and protects against contamination. It demands high rigidity and strength. Structurally, it includes a cast steel/ductile iron body (500kg–5 tons) with reinforcing ribs, thrust bearing seat, main shaft socket mount, lubrication/cooling channels, foundation flange, access ports, and sealing surfaces. Manufacturing involves sand casting (material selection, pattern making, molding, melting/pouring) with heat treatment, followed by machining (rough and precision) and surface treatment. Quality control covers material testing, dimensional checks (CMM, laser scanning), structural integrity testing (UT, MPT), mechanical performance tests, and assembly validation, ensuring it meets strength and precision requirements for reliable heavy-duty operation.
The cone crusher thrust bearing, a key component handling axial loads (up to thousands of kilonewtons) at the main shaft bottom or between the adjustment ring and frame, supports vertical forces, enables smooth rotation, maintains alignment, and integrates with lubrication systems. It operates at 500–1500 rpm, demanding high strength and precision. Composed of a 42CrMo thrust collar (HRC 50–55 surface), babbitt/bronze thrust pads, a cast iron/steel housing, lubrication elements, locating devices, and seals, it forms a robust assembly. Manufacturing involves forging and heat-treating the collar, casting/bonding babbitt to steel for pads, and sand-casting the housing, followed by precision machining. Assembly includes pad installation, lubrication integration, and alignment checks. Quality control covers material testing, dimensional inspection, NDT (UT, MPT), performance trials (load, friction), and lubrication validation. These ensure reliable operation in mining and aggregate processing.
The cone crusher socket liner, a replaceable wear-resistant component in the socket’s bearing cavity, acts as an interface between the rotating main shaft and stationary socket. It protects against wear, reduces friction (≤0.15 with lubrication), distributes loads, and compensates for minor misalignment, requiring good wear resistance and lubricant compatibility. Structurally, it is a cylindrical/flanged sleeve with a liner body (bronze, babbitt, or bimetallic materials), inner bearing surface (Ra0.8–1.6 μm with oil grooves), outer surface (interference fit), optional flange, lubrication features, and chamfers, with 5–15 mm wall thickness. Manufacturing involves casting (centrifugal/sand) for bronze liners, plus heat treatment and machining, or steel shell preparation, bearing layer application (sintering/roll bonding) and machining for bimetallic ones. Quality control includes material testing (composition, hardness), dimensional checks (CMM, roundness testing), microstructural analysis, performance tests (friction, wear), and fit checks, ensuring it protects components for efficient crusher operation
The cone crusher socket, a key component at the moving cone's bottom, functions as a pivot for the main shaft, transmits loads to the frame, facilitates lubrication, and maintains alignment. It operates under high loads, requiring strength, wear resistance, and precision. Structurally, it includes a high-strength alloy steel (42CrMo) body, a precision bearing cavity, eccentric bushing interface, lubrication channels, a mounting flange, and locating pins, with optional wear-resistant inserts. Manufacturing involves sand casting (pattern making, molding, melting/pouring), heat treatment (quenching/tempering, local hardening), and machining (precision boring, flange processing, channel drilling). Quality control covers material testing (composition, mechanics), dimensional checks (CMM, roundness testing), NDT (UT, MPT), mechanical tests (hardness, compression), and functional trials. These ensure it supports stable crusher operation in mining and aggregate processing.
The cone crusher concave, also called the fixed cone liner or bowl liner, is a key wear-resistant component mounted on the inner surface of the bowl, forming the stationary part of the crushing chamber. Its main functions include material crushing (cooperating with the rotating mantle), wear protection (shielding the bowl), material flow guidance (via its inner profile), and product size control (influenced by inner geometry). It needs exceptional wear resistance (surface hardness ≥HRC 60), impact toughness (≥12 J/cm²), and structural integrity to withstand continuous material impact. Structurally, it is a segmented (3–8 pieces for large crushers) or one-piece conical component. It consists of concave segments/one-piece structure, a wear-resistant body (high-chromium cast iron Cr20–Cr26 or Ni-Hard 4), an inner wear profile (tapered design with 15°–30° angle, ribs/grooves, parallel sections), mounting features (dovetail tabs, clamping holes, locating pins), outer backing (in bimetallic designs), and top/bottom flanges. The casting process for high-chromium cast iron concaves involves material selection (Cr20Mo3 with controlled composition), pattern making (segmented patterns with shrinkage allowances), molding (resin-bonded sand mold with refractory wash), melting and pouring (induction furnace, controlled temperature and flow rate), and cooling and heat treatment (solution annealing and austempering). The machining process includes rough machining, mounting feature machining, inner profile finishing, segment assembly (for multi-piece designs), and surface treatment. Quality control processes cover material testing (chemical composition and metallographic analysis), mechanical property testing (hardness and impact testing), dimensional accuracy checks (CMM and laser scanner), non-destructive testing (UT and MPT), and wear performance validation (accelerated testing and field trials). These ensure the concave achieves the required wear resistance, precision, and durability for efficient, long-term crushing performance in mining, quarrying, and aggregate processing
