Investigation of the jaw crusher operation with backlash eliminators

The condition for the appearance of additional dynamic forces in the presence of gaps in the journal bearings of the jaw crusher is determined. The design of the backlash eliminator equipped with pneumatics is described. It was experimentally established that the use of pneumatic devices for backlash elimination in the interfaces of the moving links, using journal bearings, during the operation of the jaw crusher, reduce the magnitude of accelerations and, therefore, increase the reliability of the crusher as a whole.
