1 Technical Specifications T-Class Two Bearing Vibrating Screens

2 Thank you for your interest in the Tycan T-Class. General Information W.S. Tyler offers the T-Class vibrating screen with field proven features that make it a versatile performer. It is designed to be a rugged dependable vibrating screen for use in the screening of a wide variety of materials. The circle throw motion of the T-Class Series is developed by a unbalanced concentric shaft assembly, which is supported by two high performance, double spherical roller screen bearings. The circle throw action is very effective in moving coarse material to the top of the bed so that the fines and near mesh particles may pass through the media openings. The T-Class Series provides fast, accurate sizing of virtually any material ranging in cut size from 0.15 in to 9.76 in. The T-Class two bearing, circle throw vibrating screen is easy to maintain because of its readily replaceable parts and solid HUCK bolted construction. For maximum versatility, the T-Class model offers one to four and a half screen decks. These decks are available in widths from two feet to eight feet and in lengths up to twenty-four feet. The T-Class can be designed in single and double shaft configurations. The double shaft utilizes a timing belt eliminating the need for high priced timing gears.

Using a 3D CAD system, the engineer produces a geometrically accurate, unambiguous, digital product model that is utilized throughout product development, manufacturing and assembly. Interacting with 3D model speeds up design, encourages innovation and identifies errors. It enables engineers to visually evaluate interference between parts, complicated geometric features, required tolerances, mechanism motion and assembly structure as the product evolves. Further, the virtual prototype enables concurrent collaboration between engineering, manufacturing and customers.

11 Mounting Options The T-Class screen can be designed with one of four mounting options: 1. Direct support with coil springs used in conjunction with stabilizing units. The stabilizing units provide lateral stability and control machine movement limiting critical frequencies during start up and shut down. Stabilizing Units Figure 11 Coil Springs and Stabilizing Unit

12 2. Direct support with Ty-Rider mounts (standard on machines smaller than 5 wide). Figure 12 Ty-Rider Mounted T-Class Ty-Rider mounts are offered as an alternative to conventional spring mounting systems. Ty-Rider mounts are based upon the principle of four elastomeric elements inside the base of each oscillating unit. The elements transmit the oscillations of a system, while simultaneously damping vibration, shock, and noise. Due to the unique design, neither shear nor bending stresses occur at the support points, assuring long life. Figure 13 Double Ty-Rider Configuration

13 The key features of Ty-Rider mounts that are superior to coil springs are: Extended life Lateral stability Support tensile, compressive and shear stresses Reduced noise level Prevents excessive and uncontrolled oscillation through start-up and shut down 3.

14 Vibration Analysis Inspection Every T-Class vibrating machine is backed by years of engineering experience. Prior to shipment each machine is carefully examined and operated over a prolonged period assuring correct balance, satisfactory bearing operating temperatures, smooth operation, acceptable noise levels, and quality workmanship. Each machine is evaluated using a computer vibration analysis tool to find any dynamic irregularities in a vibrating screen. This information makes it possible to view in the monitor the orbit points, peak to peak, median acceleration, displacements, frequency (RPM) and FFT analysis. The combination of speed and stroke on a vibrating screen results in acceleration forces. Operating a screen outside of its proper accelerations reduces screening performance and poses risks to the mechanical integrity of the machine. Measuring the mechanical performance of a vibrating screen builds the basis, minimizing these risks, ensuring proper operation. The healthy screen will display a stable waveform and close to zero acceleration in the side axis. Figure 15 Vibration Analysis Data Acquisition Horizontal and vertical vibrations analyzed together allow orbit plots to represent the 2D shape of the screen motion (Figure 19). This shape also holds valuable information about the condition of the screen. The integrated FFT-analysis separates and analyzes frequency patterns that indicate mechanical problems.
