Crystal Spring Industries

1. Purpose:

• To absorb shock and vibrations during the crushing process.

• To maintain tension or pressure between moving components (e.g., jaw plates, hammers).

• To protect the machine from overloads by acting as a mechanical buffer or safety device.

2. Material:

• Typically made from high-tensile alloy steel or spring steel for durability and fatigue resistance.

• Treated with heat treatment and surface finishing (e.g., shot peening) for enhanced life span.

3. Types:

• Compression springs – Most common in jaw crushers to push movable jaw against the fixed one.

• Torsion springs – May be used in more specialized crusher designs.

• Disc springs or coil springs – Used depending on the crusher type and load conditions.
