The flywheel is a prominent large component of the jaw crusher. Many people wonder what the flywheel is doing. There are two flywheels on the jaw crusher. One of the flywheels is used to connect the V-belt and the eccentric shaft. The other one seems to have no effect on the shape. It increases the weight of the equipment in vain. Can't it be removed? The following is presented below.

The Role Of The Flywheel In The Jaw Crusher

实际上,飞轮是所有采矿设备的重要部件,也是一个关键组件。在各种破碎设备中,飞轮发挥着重要的作用。因此,飞轮是不可或缺的。飞轮在设备的运行中也发挥着重要的作用。

从颚式破碎机设备的外观上看,不难发现颚式破碎机设备的两侧有两个大铁轮。这两个轮子就是我们所称的飞轮。

The two flywheels are respectively at both ends of the eccentric shaft. One of the flywheels is used to connect the V-belts and the eccentric shaft to transmit the kinetic energy. The other is the flywheel, often regarded as a redundant component. In fact, this flywheel plays a crucial role in the operation of the jaw crusher. The main reason is also from the working principle of the jaw crusher. The jaw crusher operates intermittently. This causes varying resistance on the eccentric shaft, uneven motor load and fluctuating mechanical efficiency. This flywheel is installed to balance the motor load, lower the motor rated power, and reduce fluctuations in mechanical efficiency.

The flywheel stores the energy of the jaw crusher during the empty stroke and releases it when the material is squeezed. That is, when the movable raft leaves the fixed raft, the flywheel accumulates energy, and when it is closed, the flywheel transfers the accumulated energy for the material of the crusher. This makes the load of the motor tend to be uniform, thereby reducing the rated power of the motor. With the help of the flywheel, the jaw crusher maintains stable energy consumption.

Not all crushers are equipped with only one V-belt connected flywheel. Some jaw crushers adopt a dual-flywheel and V-belt transmission structure, which is suitable for large-power dual-motor configurations. This simplifies the structure of the device and makes the best use of it.
