Hydraulic system pressure, contact surface between grinding roller and materials and grinding roller force of roller mill are analyzed. A new roller pressure calculation method named average surface roller pressure calculation method is proposed,and the corresponding theoretical formula is derived from three different perspectives, including roller pressure numerical calculation, stress and strain of main components and mill power through the calculation of real samples. The average surface roller and traditional average material roller pressure are compared to verify the correctness and accuracy of the proposed method. Design parameters such as the grinding roller structure, material maximum size, layer height and working pressure of the hydraulic system on the influence of roller are analyzed according to the formula of roller pressure. The research results provide theoretical basis for the selection of design parameters and the design calculation of structural strength for roller mill.
