Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Cone Crusher Model

Project Scope


  • Develop an FEA model of the cone crusher and perform static and modal analysis

  • Analyze the structural integrity of the skids for both jaw and cone crushers


Business Challenges


  • Preserve original geometry while meshing the full assembly

  • Account for gear alignment and shaft orientation to avoid resonance and ensure durability


ARi’s Solutions


  • Used second-order tetrahedral elements for high-accuracy meshing

  • Performed modal analysis to identify critical vibration modes

  • Applied varying load cases during static analysis to simulate real-world crushing angles

  • Evaluated skid structures under operational loads for strength verification


ARi’s Value Proposition


  • Weak Points Exposed: Analysis revealed structural risks early, allowing proactive design fixes

  • Reduced Testing Costs: Simulation minimized the need for physical prototypes and trials

  • Improved Reliability: Ensured structural integrity by analyzing vibration modes and load paths

  • Faster Delivery: Accelerated design validation helped the customer stay ahead of schedule
