Spider arm shield

Protects the spider arm casting from falling material impact and wear.

Spider arm shield

Spider arm shield (Spider Arm Shield)— Gyratory Crusher Wear part, position 18.

Installation and Function

Installation PositionOn the upper and side surfaces of the spider arms; position 18 in the FLS section diagram annotated on this website.
Main FunctionProtects the spider arm casting from falling material impact and wear.
Replacement FrequencyHigh wear exposure; assess remaining thickness, distortion, cracks, bolt holes and exposure of the underlying casting when deciding on replacement.

Materials and Mechanical Properties

ItemDetails
Material OptionsHigh-manganese steel, martensitic wear-resistant cast steel or quenched and tempered wear plate of approximately 360–500 HB
Typical Properties and Acceptance CriteriaExposed to both lump impact and sliding abrasion. Match the material to lump size, drop height and whether a protective material bed forms. High-manganese steel needs sufficient impact to work-harden. Protect the hole edges, ends and welded or bolted areas of hard plate against brittle fracture and loosening.
Principal Failure MechanismSliding or three-body abrasion, localized impact and cracking around fastener holes

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.
