Drawing and Engineering Review
We review mating surfaces and interface dimensions and assess material, heat treatment and manufacturing feasibility.
Drive Shaft Bushing
Supports the rotating countershaft and maintains correct pinion-to-gear mesh.
Drive Shaft Bushing (Countershaft Bushing)— Cone Crushers Wear part, position 13.
Location and Function
| Material Options | OEM-specified tin bronze, leaded tin bronze or other copper alloy for high-speed sliding bearings |
| Typical Properties and Acceptance Criteria | Requires seizure resistance, thermal conductivity and fatigue strength at higher speeds. Control composition, soundness, coaxiality, cylindricity, fits, oil holes and grooves, roughness and operating clearance. Assess these together with journal hardness and lubricant viscosity. |
| Principal Failure Mechanism | Sliding or three-body abrasion, localized impact and cracking around fastener holes; contact fatigue, lubricant contamination, temperature rise, seizure and seal failure |
Information Required for RFQ
- Equipment manufacturer, machine model, serial number, model details and latest drawing revision;
- Part dimensions, unit weight, key tolerances, assembly and fastening method;
- Current material, chemical composition, heat treatment, hardness and mechanical property reports;
- Processed material, maximum particle size, hardness/abrasiveness, moisture and tramp material records;
- Speed, load, temperature, pressure, process medium chemistry and continuous operating time;
- Failure photographs, wear measurements, crack/fracture locations and current service life;
Materials and values are for preliminary engineering selection. Final chemical composition, heat treatment, hardness and dimensional tolerances must follow the OEM drawings and technical agreement.
