Cone Crusher socket

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.
