  • Heating Methodologies of Impact Crusher's Rotor Gearbox Coupling

    The document compares two methods for heating the couplings of impact crusher rotor gearboxes: the oil bath method and the torch method. The oil bath method involves submerging the coupling in heated oil to reach 150C, then installing it onto the shafting. The torch method uses heating torches applied directly to the coupling to heat it and expand its diameter to the required size of 272mm, then a fast installation onto the cleaned and oiled shafting. Both methods aim to expand and install the coupling without damage, but the torch method may allow for faster, more efficient installation while avoiding potential overheating or smoke issues of the oil bath approach. Proper safety planning and PPE are important for both methods due to fire hazards

    2. Procedure a. Simulation a. Using A-frame, platform and
    – set first the couplings (centering & mounted on a pedestal (as drawn),
    leveling) position the coupling aligned
    - Measure the bore dia. of coupling respectively with the shafting
    & shafting b. Measure the shaft diameter and the
    - Set the right expansion inside bore diameter of coupling

    b. Put the coupling inside the pan expansion of the coupling (from
    and start heating 269.7mm to 272mm)
    c. Monitor the temp of oil bath every d. Start heating the coupling using 2

    h. Install the coupling carefully,
    properly and fast, making sure
    that the face of coupling and
    shafting are both aligned
    3. Special Note a. Clean the shafting a. Clean the coupling and shafting
    b. Required min. temp of oil bath is b. Apply oil on the shafting only
    150C c. The target expansion of coupling
    - The max. temp is 180C ranges from the original 269.7mm to
    c. The target expansion of coupling 272mm
    ranges from the original 269.7mm d. The measurement of temperature
    to 272mm may optionally be done and that the
    basis of commencement of
    installation can be with reference to
    the required expansion while

    5. Quality Aspects a. Being heated up by oil, the a. Having mounted on pedestal
