Support device for a cylindrical rotary member

摘要

The rotary tube of a crusher is mounted for rotation on a support having a support surface in gliding contact with a circumferentially extending, circular face portion of the crusher tube. The support is supported on a ball-and-socket joint in turn supported on a base, the ball of the joint being affixed to the support and the socket being affixed to the base. A cheek plate extends from each side of the support and encloses the joint and a portion of the base so as to restrain lateral movement of the support.
