Abstract:
A disc cutter for use on a tunnel boring machine (10) may include a shaft and a cutter assembly (213) rotatably mounted on the shaft (202). The cutter assembly may include a cutter ring (206) extending circumferentially about a central axis (230) and one or more bearing apparatuses (212A, 212B) rotatably mounting the cutter assembly to the shaft. Each bearing apparatuses may include a rotor (226) extending circumferentially about the central axis and a first plurality of superhard bearing elements (248) distributed circumferentially about the central axis. Each first superhard bearing element may be attached to the rotor and may include a bearing surface (254). The bearing apparatuses may further include a stator (224) extending circumferentially about the central axis and a second plurality of superhard bearing elements (234) attached to the stator that are generally opposed to the first plurality of superhard bearing elements of the rotor.
