The static analysis is used to estimate the behaviour of the elements on a machine submitted to external forces. In this case, the machine that was analyzed was a hammer mill, where the element of interest was the principal axis, because it displays the reactions of each element coupled to the machine. For the crusher’s axis analysis, the first hit of one of the hammers against the mineral that enters for it subsequent trituration, was also taken into consideration. As result it was posible to evidence the reactions that every piece had in the axis, lately it’s equilibrium and the internal forces analysis were studied throught the shear forces and bending momentum diagram generated by the axis sections.
