Kinematic motion analysis of the members of a double jaw crusher

Computational technology makes it possible to accelerate and simplify the processes of kinematic and dynamic analysis. The paper deals with the problem of kinematic analysis of a planar six-joint mechanism of a jaw double-spring crusher. Computational techniques and software support have been used in the kinematic analysis. The obtained results are compared with the results of the graphical solution. The graphical solution has been carried out by using CAD software. MSC.Adams/View program was used to create a model and simulate the jaw crusher motion. In both cases there was agreement of the obtained results.
