Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bearing assembly, in particular to an assembly method of a twenty-high rolling mill backing bearing. Background Art
[0002] As the core component of the twenty-high mill, the backing bearing is crucial to the load-bearing, transmission and overall performance of the mill. It is a precision mechanical component, and its service accuracy and life directly affect the operating efficiency of the mill. The backing bearing is composed of six two-row cylindrical roller bearings installed side by side on a mandrel, and the entire twenty-high mill is equipped with eight such backing bearings. The outer diameter of these bearings is directly in contact with the intermediate roll, and they rotate while bearing the load rolling force, so they have extremely high requirements for part accuracy. To ensure the best operating function, these bearings must be accurately grouped and matched during installation and use.
[0003] When grouping and matching, the backing bearings are arranged according to their wall thickness height. On each mandrel, the larger bearings are placed in the middle after assembly, and the smaller ones are placed on both sides, forming a gradually decreasing arrangement from the middle to the two ends, that is, a configuration of "high in the middle and low on both sides". In order to ensure the stability of rolling and the life of the bearings, the wall thickness error of adjacent backing bearings is strictly controlled within 0.002mm, and the error of the entire group of bearings does not exceed 0.006mm. If the error is too large, it will cause serious uneven force on the backing bearings on the support rollers, which will cause vibration and roller fatigue damage, which will not only reduce product quality, but also shorten the working life of the backing bearings.
[0004] However, the conventional assembly method currently used is not only difficult, but also difficult to achieve the required process accuracy. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a new assembly method for the twenty-high mill backing bearing that can meet the high-precision requirements. Summary of the invention
