➲  shaft bearings

Without proper support and lubrication, the eccentric shaft would quickly become damaged and the crusher would fail to operate efficiently. This is where the bearings come into play.

These bearings must be able to withstand the heavy loads and intense forces generated by the crushing process, as well as the harsh conditions of the quarry environment. They must also provide accurate alignment and positioning of the eccentric shaft, ensuring that it moves in a consistent and controlled manner.

To achieve this level of performance, the bearings used in jaw crushers are often made from high-quality materials such as steel or ceramic, and are precision-engineered to exacting standards. They may also be equipped with features such as seals, lubrication systems, and temperature sensors to ensure long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.
