Application Challenges in Compactor Drum
Compactor drum is the most sensitive part of the machine which comprises of the key elements which plays a major role in compactor performance. The drum is typically designed to withstand the extreme application conditions and to provide longer life and durability to sustain in the extreme conditions and to withstand the dynamic forces in both soil and asphalt compactors. Drum Bearing Housing - Drum bearing housing is the most important assembly of a Compactor drum. It consists of the bearing and sealing arrangement which is placed at both the ends of the drum roller. It includes the spindle and the carrier housing along with the bearings. One of the key elements to protect this bearing assembly is the seals. Floating Seals contribute majorly to protect the complete bearing assembly from the external dirt and dust to enter in the drum assembly. It also withstands the extreme operating conditions like high temperature, dynamic loads etc. Hence bearing housings requires the r...
