In last essay, we talked about the cause of broken cross beam of shale shakers by ignorance of daily maintenance and just as what we mentioned, cross beams are always required to be solid and strong enough to maintain the normal operation of shale shaker. Good working condition also relates to well design. In the following description, we will mainly analyze cause of broken cross beam of shale shaker by unreasonable design.

Cross beam plays an import role in supporting vibration motors and transferring vibration motion, which is supposed to be a complicated force-reacted spare parts of shale shaker. It bears motion from gravity, vibration force and inertial force. Apart from gravity, cross beam stands both alternative force by vibration force and inertial force and concentrated gravity force. Therefore, when cross beam is designed, do take strength that beam is born and proper comprehensive force in construction into consideration.

Therefore, it’s quite crucial to make clear forces to the beams and make model of the beam based on practice operation, and that is the key to design cross beams of drilling mud shale shaker. Other factors should also be considered within perfect design of beam including correct calculation of bolts numbers and size, welding tolerance, surface tolerance of the joint of motors and beams.
