Best Answer

A shaft is usually longish bit of rotating machinery, made to transfer rotating power. Eccentric means off-center. Either the shaft isn't round, or it's not mounted at the center of wherever it it.

What is the difference between an eccentric shaft and a crankshaft?

Eccentric shafts provide more strength and the support bearings are placed closer to driving points compared to crankshafts.

How does a cone crusher work?

Cone crusher crushes materials by the working surface between the movable cone and fixed cone. The movable cone is supported by spherical bearing and fixed on an hanging erect shaft which is set in the eccentric sleeve, and the sleeve is set on the stopping and pushing bearing. The movable cone and erect shaft are driven by the eccentric shaft sleeve together. The eccentric shaft sleeve is driven by horizontal shaft and fimbriated gear, and the wheel of the conveyor belt is driven by motor through v-belts. The lower part of vertical shaft is installed in the eccentric sleeve. When the eccentric sleeve rotates, there is a conical surface lined out by the shaft. When the movable cone comes near the fixed cone, rocks are grinded into pieces, when the cone leaves, grinded materials is discharged from the discharge hole. The fixed cone can be ascended or descended by adjusting setting to adjust the width of discharge hole, consequently the output size is determined.

What is eccentric movement?

The idea of eccentric movement generally speaks to movement from or off a circular path. Picture a round shaft that rotates. Now picture a circular or disc-shaped piece rigidly attached to the end of the shaft and rotating with it. Now picture the disc rigidly fixed to the end of the rotating shaft, but not directly on center. The circle will continue to move around with the shaft, but when the eccentric disc is looked at from the side, the edge of the disc will vary in its distance from the observer owing to the eccentric mount. A common application of this mechanism might be on the drive wheel of a steam locomotive.On the drive wheel of a steam locomotive, the large driven wheel, the drive wheel, is built onto the end of an axle, and the two are concentric. But if we can picture a situation where we put something that is an "extension" onto the axle, and that this extension sticks out beyond the wheel, and then shift the extension off the center of the main axle, we'll have our eccentric in that shaft extension. If we turn the wheel, the round "extension" will move in a circle, but that circle will move around the center of the main axle and not rotate in alignment with it. Now put a collar around the eccentric, and then connect a straight operating rod to the collar. As the main wheel turns, the eccentric moves with it, and the operating rod will move back and forth along the direction in which it is pointed. This operating shaft is used in steam locomotives to operate a so-called sliding valve.Use the link posted below to surf over to the Wikipedia article on the eccentric mechanism. You'll find pictures and additional information there. The pictures alone are a good reason to go. Adam rowley


How does a cone crusher rotates?

Cone Crusher's crushing action is caused by the closing of the gap between the mantle line (movable) mounted on the central vertical spindle and the concave liners (fixed) mounted on the main frame of the crusher. The gap is opened and closed by an eccentric on the bottom of the spindle that causes the central vertical spindle to gyrate. The vertical spindle is free to rotate around its own axis.


On which mechanism does a hair clipper work?

A hair clipper is nothing more than an electric motor with a cutting blade attached to it. The motor shaft is usually connected to the blade in a fashion that moves it side to side. One way to do that is by connecting the motor shaft to a wheel, cam, or rod that changes the rotational motion of the shaft to the desired motion of the blade: side to side, up and down, etc. The method commonly used is an eccentric ( a cam lobe ) connected to the motor shaft. The eccentric is then placed into or onto the cutting blade which moves in a guide. If you look close while a hair clipper is running, you can see that the motion of the blade. It moves slightly up and down as well as the desired side to side motion. That is a result of the offset of the eccentric from dead center of the motor shaft as it makes a revolution.
