6 Failures of Axial Thrust Rollers

7.6.1. Damages to Rolling Surface
Features :
Excessive wear an tear! "itting fracturing
#onse$uences :
%ear an tear! "itting or fracturing
Aitional loa on roller assem&l' owing to uneven rolling action
Se$uence failures :
Roller fracture
T're amage! &urr formation
#auses :
(ncorrect thrust roller a)ustment of su""ort roller or force *iln u"hill movement
Dimensioning or material efect
+ac* of roller face lu&rication
Relief measures :
#orrect roller a)ustment
Rolling face lu&rication
A)ustment of *iln movement c'cle
Re"air measures :
,achine of worn roller face! elimination of &urrs
#orrect alignment of rolling face contact
-reventive measures :
,aintain correct rolling surface contact
A)ust correctl' axial *iln movement c'cles
Routine ins"ection
#orrect roller a)ustment
.ualit' assurance of new or re"lacement roller
/see annex 101
7.6.2 Thrust Roller Shaft Fracture
Features :
Fracture of shaft at transition from roller to the shaft
#onse$uences :
3iln shutown ue to thrust roller &rea*age
Se$uence failures :
Roller shaft &earing failure
Damages to t're or *iln shell
Drive ue to shoc* loa when roller gets )amme &etween t're thrust an thrust
roller &ase
#auses :
4igh axial loa create &' thermal tensions in the shell uring cool own! when the
*iln cannot freel' contract itself! ue to not sufficient rotating of the *iln
(nae$uate esign of transition 5one on roller to shaft
Relief measures :
2
Re"lacement of amage "arts
-reventive measures :
#orrect cool own of *iln with ae$uate se$uence of *iln rotation
+u&rication of rolling surface on su""ort rollers with oil uring *iln cool own
,aintain *iln in u""er "osition /axiall'1 uring *iln cool own
.ualit' assurance of new or re"lacement rollers
