Pinion

Transfers drive torque to the gear to operate the eccentric assembly.

Pinion

Pinion (Pinion)— Gyratory Crusher Wear part, position 30.

Installation and Function

Installation PositionAt the inner end of the pinion shaft, corresponding to location 30 in the FLS cutaway diagram marked on this site.
Main FunctionTransfers drive torque to the gear to operate the eccentric assembly.
Replacement FrequencyLow replacement frequency; assess together with the gear for pitting, spalling, scuffing, cracks, abnormal wear or an uneven contact pattern.

Materials and Mechanical Properties

ItemDetails
Material OptionsAlloy steel such as 18CrNiMo7-6, 20CrMnTi or 50CrMo4, with carburising or quenching and tempering appropriate to the grade and the OEM matched gear design
Typical Properties and Acceptance CriteriaCarburised designs commonly specify a tooth surface around 58–62 HRC with a tough core. Quenched and tempered designs use lower tooth hardness selected together with the mating gear. Control material cleanliness, forging, case depth, core properties, tooth profile and lead, runout, MT/UT, contact pattern and backlash. Select pinion material as part of the gear pair.
Principal Failure MechanismImpact, cutting and abrasive wear; gear tooth or pin-and-bushing wear, pitting, scuffing, uneven loading and fatigue

Material and Design Considerations

  • Identify material hardness, particle size, abrasiveness, moisture, temperature, pH, impact and tramp material;
  • High hardness does not replace core toughness, fatigue strength, corrosion resistance or high-temperature performance;
  • For composite, hardfaced, ceramic and elastomer designs, assess substrate bonding, edge protection, fastening and maintainability;
  • For parts that mate with shafts, gears, seals, roll surfaces or housings, control fits, tolerances, surface finish and assembly clearances together;
  • Assess material upgrades using cumulative throughput, dimensional wear, failure modes, product quality and downtime costs.

Required Ordering / RFQ Information

  • Equipment manufacturer, machine model, serial number, part number 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.
