A grinding roller is configured so that the fatigue strength of a roller housing can be ensured, and product life can thus be ensured. The grinding roller includes: a roller housing; a roller main body; a pressing plate; a tab hole; and a tab. A line at which fastening stress caused by the pressing plate is concentrated on a base portion of a fixing stopper part of the roller housing and a line at which stress caused by a grinding load received by the roller main body is concentrated on a base portion of the tab hole of the roller housing are disposed in an offset manner so as not to intersect each other.

The present invention relates to a grinding roller for vertical axis crushers, produced by foundry casting, said roller comprising inserts with a massiveness modulus V/S comprised between 3 and 5 cm, preferably between 3.2 and 4.5 cm, said inserts being embedded in a metal matrix consisting of ductile iron or steel.
