A gyratory crusher including a main shaft that can be installed into a main frame. The gyratory crusher include an alignment system having a stationary dust collar and a separate alignment ring attached to the dust collar. The alignment ring includes a tapered contact surface extending from a lower outer edge to a top edge to help guide a dust seal past the alignment ring and into contact with an outer surface of the dust collar. The dust seal is received within a receiving cavity of a dust seal retainer mounted to the main shaft of the crusher. A series of alignment openings extend through the dust seal retainer to provide access to an outer edge of the dust seal. The position of the dust seal can be adjusted based upon measurements of the outer edge. The main shaft includes a chamfer on the lower end guide the main shaft into a bushing assembly.

A gyratory crusher spider bushing positions radially intermediate thereof a topshell spider and a crusher main shaft configured for gyroscopic precession within a crusher. The bushing includes a cylindrical main body having an inside surface and an outside surface centered around a longitudinal axis. A collar is arranged in connection to the top end of the bushing. The inside surface includes a fulcrum point having the smallest diameter of the bushing. An angle (α) defines the inside surface inclination above/below the fulcrum point in relation to the longitudinal axis. An inside length of the body is defined from the fulcrum point to the top end of the collar. A plurality of longitudinal cutouts are located at the inside of the body and are partly recessed in the inside surface. The cutouts have a length of which the lowermost part is located at or above the region of the fulcrum point.

An anti-spin arrangement for a gyratory crusher including at least one seal element configured to provide sealing of the top bearing of the gyratory crusher and at least one anti-spin element configured to reduce the spinning of the head of the crusher. The arrangement further includes a first adjustment element and a second adjustment element, wherein the at least one seal element and the at least one anti-spin element are configured to be individually adjusted with the first adjustment element and the second adjustment element respectively. A gyratory crusher, a mineral material processing plant and a method of adjusting an anti-spin arrangement of a gyratory crusher are also disclosed.

A hydraulic mantle system for a gyratory rock crusher enables the safe, quick and efficient replacement of a worn or deformed mantle. The system includes a main shaft, an annular nut, an annular hydraulic piston and an annular mantle. The main shaft has a flange and external threads adjacent the flange. The annular nut body has side surfaces and internal threads that are threaded onto the external threads of the main shaft. The annular hydraulic piston has side surfaces that slidingly engage the side surfaces of the annular nut body. The annular mantle has an upper neck portion and a lower edge portion. The main shaft extends extending through the upper neck portion. The upper neck portion of the annular mantle is compressed between the flange of the main shaft and the annular hydraulic piston.

A crusher device such as a cone or gyratory crusher is disclosed. The crusher device includes a shaft defining a first direction parallel to its length. The shaft includes an upper shaft end, a crusher head, and an overload safety device that couples the crusher head to the upper shaft end. The overload safety device includes a biasing device configured to bias the crusher head away from the upper shaft end in the first direction. The overload safety device is configured to permit displacement of the crusher head along the first direction relative to the shaft in response to a force acting on the crusher head in the first direction.
