AI Technical Summary
In rolling mills, work roll deflection occurs due to uneven load distribution, leading to reduced dimensional accuracy and potential breakage of the work roll, as the load is not ideally transferred to the backup roll side, causing bending and deformation.
A rolling mill design with a first bearing supporting the backup roll and a second bearing supporting the backup roll, featuring a gap between the first bearing and its housing, allowing the work roll to move and relieve load, thereby minimizing deflection and maintaining accuracy.
The design effectively suppresses work roll deflection, maintains dimensional accuracy of the rolled material, and prevents work roll breakage by ensuring the load is primarily borne by the backup roll, simplifying control and maintenance.
