Typical Reason to Replace a Ball Mill Trunnion 'unexpectedly'
Wearing through trunnion liner can cause localized erosion/weakness. Lube or operational failure may have caused overheating and/or galling damage of journal surface. Other Typical, and maybe similar, reason is: Poor maintenance or operation! Contamination of lube. Washing/hosing dirt into trunnion when the feed chute leaks is another big one.
