  • Patent number: 5964422
    Abstract: A gyratory crusher having a frame (1) and in the frame an eccentric shaft (3) rotatable around a vertical shaft in the frame, with a vertical inclined hole in it. A main shaft (4) is supported by bearings in the hold of the eccentric shaft, a supporting cone (5) being attached to the upper end of said main shaft (4). Around the main shaft, below the supporting cone (5) there is a sealing cover (10) covering the eccentric shaft. The upper edge (12) of the sealing cover (10) is sealed against the main shaft (4) by means of a sealing member (13), the outer edge of which has been fitted in an annular groove (17) on the inner edge (12) of the sealing cover (10). The face-to-face arranged upper and lower surfaces so the part (13") of the sealing member (13) in the groove and the groove (17) of the sealing cover (10) are inclined so that their outer edges are higher up than their inner edges.

  • Patent number: 5779166
    Abstract: The application presents an adjustable cone crusher which has a hydraulic cylinder-plunger-combination (15, 4) for adjusting the setting and supporting a main shaft at its bottom end. The combination contains a bypass channel (21), through which the pressure medium escapes from the cylinder when the combination has been extended by a certain distance. In this way the crushing cone is prevented from rising too much upwards.
