Product Description

Crosshead Component:

The crosshead is a key moving component in a reciprocating compressor that connects the piston rod to the connecting rod. It is installed within the crosshead guide (slideway) and plays the important roles of transmitting power, guiding motion, and withstanding side forces. It effectively separates the cylinder working area from the crankshaft motion area, prevents the piston from exerting side thrust on the cylinder, significantly reduces cylinder wear, and ensures long-term smooth operation of the compressor.

Core Functions:

Motion conversion and guidance:
Converts the oscillating motion of the connecting rod into smooth reciprocating linear motion of the piston, achieving precise guidance through the cooperation of the sliding shoes and guide plates.

Power transmission:
Transmits the gas force acting on the piston to the connecting rod while also withstanding the reciprocating inertia force.

Side force bearing:
Withstands the side thrust generated by the oscillating connecting rod (which can reach up to 30% of the piston force), preventing this force from acting on the cylinder inner wall.

Isolation and sealing:
Separates the cylinder working chamber from the crankshaft motion chamber, preventing lubricating oil from contaminating the process gas and reducing cylinder wear.

Piston rod connection:
Provides reliable connection and positioning for the piston rod. In some designs, the crosshead allows adjustment of the concentricity between the piston and the cylinder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary role of a crosshead in a compressor?

The crosshead connects the piston rod to the connecting rod, converting oscillating motion into linear reciprocating motion while bearing significant side forces to protect the cylinder.

What materials are typically used for these crossheads?

We utilize high-quality materials such as 20# steel and Zchsnsb11-6 to ensure durability and high-pressure resistance up to 250bar.

How does this component improve compressor longevity?

By bearing the side thrust (up to 30% of piston force), it prevents that force from acting on the cylinder inner wall, which significantly reduces wear and maintenance needs.

Is the crosshead compatible with corrosive gas mediums?

Yes, our products are designed with remarkable corrosion resistance and adaptability, making them suitable for virtually any gas medium.

What is the production capacity for these components?

Our facility has a robust production capacity of approximately 30,000 pieces per year, ensuring a steady supply for large-scale industrial needs.

How are the products protected during shipping?

Components are meticulously packed in reinforced wooden crates to prevent any damage during transit, ensuring they arrive in perfect operational condition.
