Roll stand for absorbing rolling forces

Abstract

In order to simplify roll adjustment in a roll stand when changing the rolls, a roll stand absorbs rolling forces of at least three rolls mounted on both sides in bearing seats of the roll stand that absorb rolling forces, in each instance. At least the bearing seats of one roll are disposed in a stand body jointly with a bearing seat of another roll, in each instance. One of the stand bodies has fixed bearings of the two related rolls, in each instance, and/or one of the stand bodies has floating bearings of the two related rolls, in each instance.

Benefits of technology

[0044]In this way, too, roll adjustment when replacing the rolls can be significantly simplified, because the bearing seat can then help with pre-positioning. In addition, with a suitable configuration of the bearing seats, only a small construction space on the roll stand is required, and this feature is also independent of the mounting in the common bearing seat, which again is advantageous for the creation of a smaller construction space.

[0045]At this point, it should be mentioned that other essential aspects of the present invention can be seen in that smaller, interchangeable installation and production units, such as roll stand or cassette units, and improved flexibility in production and procurement, can be achieved using th

Problems solved by technology

It is understood that refitting of such rolling machines to a different roll pass or also wear-related refitting is connected with a correspondingly great refitting effort, because t
