How a Jaw Crusher Works

Understanding how a jaw crusher works is important for appreciating some of the options available in our jaw crushers for sale or rent. If you are familiar with the standard workings of a jaw crusher, you can skip directly to the options.

Jaw crushers work by crushing rocks between two jaws:

• Fixed jaw
• Movable jaw (also called the swing jaw)

The fixed jaw and the movable jaw are angled from one another, creating a triangular space between them, which is wider at the top (the gape width) where material enters than at the bottom, where product leaves. The angle between the two jaws is known as the nip angle. The nip angle should be chosen to ensure proper crushing of the material. Too large of an angle can cause boiling, where material slips up and down in the chamber without getting crushed.

The movable jaw, driven by an eccentric shaft attached to a gear or flywheel, opens and closes, moving a distance known as the stroke. The stroke is the distance between the crusher’s open side setting and the closed side setting. The open side setting is the largest particle size the crusher will let out. When the jaw opens, it lets material fall down between the jaws. When it closes, the jaws grip the material and crush it. Then the jaws open and material falls down further in the chamber to get caught and crushed again.

The most common jaw crusher designs are single toggle and double toggle. In a single toggle jaw crusher, the jaw is connected directly to a flywheel that governs its open-and-close motions. In a double toggle, the eccentric shaft attaches to a pair of toggles that then help to drive the jaw motion.
