[**Jaw crushers**](https://www.quora.com/search?q=what+is+jaw+crusher) reduce large rocks or ore by means of compression. Mechanical pressure is applied using the [**crushers**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusher) two jaws; one is fixed while the other reciprocates.

There are also primary and secondary types of these [**crushers**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusher).

[**Jaw crushers**](https://www.mekaglobal.com/en/products/crushing-screening-plants/crushers/jaw-crushers) are one of the most commonly preferred [**crushers**](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jaw+crusher) due to their ability to crush all kinds of materials of any hardness, as well as their low-cost operation and easy maintenance.

SHAFT & BEARINGS

Precision-machined, drop-forged, heat-treated (42Cr, Mo4) steel eccentric shaft. [**Jaw Crushers**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusher#Jaw_crusher) The larger eccentricity of pitman shaft provides a motion that pulls the material to the bottom of the jaw plate.


Spherical, self-aligning roller bearings, straight-bore pitman bearings and tapered-bore body bearings provide maximum strength to the pitman shaft and bearings for a long extended maintenance life.

With their special design that provides high efficiency and low operation costs, [**Jaw crushers**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusher#Jaw_crusher) are truly beneficial to your company.
