Ball Mill Drives We can provide all elements of a mill drive system as a fully optimised solution to suit your process exactly, or individual mill drive gearboxes, girth gears, pinions and couplings as required.
An inching drive is used as an auxiliary system to the main drive for a large machine such as a ball mill, industrial kiln, conveyor, or elevator. Its purpose is to turn the equipment at a speed slower than the normal operating speed — typically 1 to 2 rpm, although fractional rpms are also common — and to do so at high torque — typically 120 percent of the normal drive torque.
factured and supplied over 1000 systems to plants around the world. Over the past 40 years the mill sizes have increased dramatically and consequently the size and capacity re-quirements of inching drives. Hydrostatic mill inching drives are best suited to meet today’s stringent conditions and safety levels.
Fig. 1 illustrates a general schematic diagram of ball screw feed system with milling process. The feed system is composed of CNC unit, servo drive system and mechanical system. The function of CNC unit is to obtain the discretized position command from a continuous tool path by look-ahead interpolation.
A ball mill also known as pebble mill or tumbling mill is a milling machine that consists of a hallow cylinder containing balls; mounted on a metallic frame such that it can be rotated along its longitudinal axis. The balls which could be of different diameter occupy 30 – 50 % of the mill volume and its size depends on the feed and mill size.
This system was tested for over 3 million cycles at 28 MW (2 x 14 MW) with an input speed of 320 rpm, proving the torque splitting system arrangement. In the past, grinding mills operating between 18 MW and 28 MW required a large electrical wrap-around motor, known as a Gearless Mill Drive (GMD). The Metso QdX4 is an alternative option to the GMD.

1. Drives Basic function of CNC machine is a to provide automatic and precise motion control to its elements such work table, tool spindle etc. Drives are used to provide such kind of s controlled motion to the elements of a CNC machine tool. A drive system consists of drive motors and ball lead-screws.
Nowadays more and more mills are fed by frequency converter systems, allowing for higher performance and flexibility of operation. ABB continuously extends technical and performance frontiers of ring-geared mill drive (RMD) technology to fit your site requirements.
Laylabadi and Symonds analysed the control system of an 18 MW ball mill drive system. The establishment and validation of the tumbling mill models have been widely conducted. Morrell set up a power draw model of SAG mill that considers the slurry phase. Zolghadri et al. developed a novel theory of breakage function.
V-BELT Ball Mill DRIVE. V-belt or poly-V drives are generally used on grinding mills consuming 350 HP or less. Where power exceeds this, drives become so large and motors become special, resulting in an uneconomical application. Generally the driven mill sheave is of split hub construction to facilitate field assembly.
Figure 4: Two SAG Mills 24MW each and Two Ball Mills 16.4 MW each with Gearless Mill Drives For larger applications the well-proven Gearless Mill Drive (GMD) technology has shown to be very effective since its introduction in mining in 1980; currently in operation for horizontal mills up to 40 feet (~12.2m) diameter with
1. Move an axis in one direction farther than the maximum possible backlash. (Example .020, hopefully less than that is needed!) 2. Mount a dial indicator and zero it. 3. Move the axis again in the same direction for a specific distance (it doesn’t matter how far). 4. Move the axis backwards the same distance.
C. Ball Nuts Are Manufactured With Two Types of Ball Return Systems (a) The External Ball Return System. In this type of return system, the ball is returned to the opposite end of the circuit through a ball return tube which protrudes above the outside diameter of the ball nut.
SAG mill product feeds two parallel ball mills of 6.6 m×11.1 m (internal diameter×length), each with a 9.7 MW twin pinion drive. The ball mills are operated at a ball charge volume of 30–32% and 78.5% critical speed.

Gearless mill drive system (GMD) Go gearless to meet your business objetives by exceeding standard availability targets in your grinding operations. ABB’s GMD is the most powerful mill drive system in the market to power semiautogenous (SAG), ball and autogenous (AG) mills, This ’workhorse’ for grinding operations combines a robust
2 GEARLESS MILL DES The gearless mill drive eliminates ring-gear, pinion, gearbox, coupling, motor shaft and motor bearings, used within a conventional mill drive system. By mounting the rotor poles directly onto the mill, the mill itself becomes the rotor of the gearless motor. Building a track record
Similar to the COMBIFLEX® drive system, the direct drive also integrates the girth gear, drive pinion, and sliding shoe bearing with slide ring into a single housing. The three-stage gear unit with integral auxiliary drive is installed separately. l. to r. Principle of the direct drive. Tube mill with direct drive. SAG mill with COMBIFLEX
