VSI Crusher Wear Parts B7150 Bolt Set

In the VSI (Vertical Shaft Impact) crushers, bolts play several important functions, especially in older models or in specific components where they are used, such as B6150SE, B7150SE, B9100SE.

1. Securing Components

Holding Parts Together: Bolts are used to secure various components of the rotor to ensure they remain in place during operation. For example, bolts may be used to attach rotor tips, cavity wear plates, and other parts to the rotor body.

Ensuring Stability: Properly tightened bolts provide the necessary clamping force to hold components securely, preventing them from vibrating loose or shifting under the high centrifugal forces generated by the rotating rotor.

2. Preventing Loosening

Resistance to Vibrations: In a high-vibration environment like a VSI crusher, bolts are essential for preventing components from loosening. They provide a secure connection that resists the constant vibrations and impacts experienced during crushing operations.

Torque and Tension: Bolts are tightened to specific torque values to ensure they maintain their tension. This helps in maintaining the integrity of the rotor assembly and prevents parts from coming loose, which could lead to equipment failure or downtime.

3. Ease of Maintenance

Removable and Replaceable: Bolts allow for easy disassembly and reassembly of the rotor components. This makes maintenance and replacement of wear parts more manageable. For example, when rotor tips or wear plates need to be replaced, bolts can be removed, the worn parts replaced, and the bolts reinstalled.

4. Safety and Reliability

Preventing Component Loss: Properly secured bolts prevent critical components from being lost or damaged during operation. This is crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the crusher.

Reducing Risk of Equipment Failure: By ensuring that all parts are securely fastened, bolts help reduce the risk of equipment failure due to loose or missing parts. This contributes to the overall reliability and longevity of the crusher.

5. Adjustability

Flexibility in Design: In some cases, bolts can be used to make minor adjustments to the position or alignment of components, ensuring optimal performance of the rotor.
