Looking for ideas on a thrust bearing for a shredder machine w/ a 2-1/2 dia shaft. Shaft length is 30" w/ 15 mounted rotating chewing disks. We are shredding soils and clay at about 40 yds/hr. Would like a common HD bearing w/ low profile. About No. 80 drive chain on sprocket too.

Any ideas welcome.

Thank you

ok, lets try this.

Would like to know how to calculate which hydraulic motor to turn a 2-1/2 dia shaft at a length of 30",with 15 mounted rotating chewing disks for a shredder machine. We are shredding soils and clay at about 40 yd3/hr. we are also using a No. 80 drive chain on 12 to 19 tooth sprocket too.

Soils are about 80lb/ft3 density and loading is, well 40 yd3/hr

Any ideas welcome.

Thank you
 
What's wrong with the machine you're using now?
