Abstract

A gyratory crusher including a main shaft that can be installed into a main frame. The gyratory crusher includes 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 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 such that the position of the dust seal can be adjusted. The main shaft includes a chamfer on the lower end to guide the main shaft into a bushing assembly.
