Abstract:
A method for securing a roll-ring onto the end of a roll-axle, comprising prefitting a roll-ring onto a roll-ring mount, and securing the mount with the roll-ring fitted thereon, onto the end of a roll axle. Securement is effected by passing one single screw-threaded bolt axially through an opening through the roll-ring mount, and tightening the bolt into a screw-threaded recess within the end of the roll-axle. The mount has a cylindrical end part (22) on which a roll-ring (30) can be secured, and the mount has an abutment surface (24) against which a roll-ring is to be pressed. Clamping structure (27, 28) presses the roll-ring against the abutment surface, and projections and recesses (25, 29, 31, 34) non-rotatably secure the mount to an end of a roll-axle. The end of the roll-axle has a conical recess in which a conical external surface on the roll-ring mount shape-matingly fits.
Abstract:
A rolling roll comprises a metal rolling roll body, a ceramic sleeve into which the roll body is inserted with a gap therebetween, thereby providing a working surface of ceramics at an outer periphery thereof, fasteners provided on the roll body at both sides of the sleeve for pressing the side faces of the sleeve thereby to fix the sleeve to the roll body, and at least one spacer having a larger coefficient of thermal expansion than that of the roll body and inserted between the sleeve and the fastener so that the sleeve is axially pressed by the fastener to fix the sleeve to the roll body.
Abstract:
A roll assembly for a rolling-mill stand has a pair of axis-defining, coaxial, and axially spaced journals, respective roll supports carried in the journals and rotatable therein about the axis, and a roll ring engaged between the supports. The roll supports are each formed with a pair of radially spaced and separate annular surfaces both centered on the axis and the surfaces of one support are directed at least generally axially toward the other roll support. At least one of the surfaces of each pair is substantially frustoconical and forms with the axis a different angle from the other of the surfaces of the pair. One of the supports is formed at the axis with an axially extending passage and the roll ring is formed with generally axially oppositely directed pairs of annular surfaces respectively complementary to and flatly engaging the annular surfaces of the roll supports. An extension stem axially fixed to the other of the supports extends with radial play through the passage and is provided with a nut or the like bearing on the one element, normally the service-side element, for pulling the two support elements axially toward each other and thereby axially compressing the roll ring between the annular surfaces of the roll supports.
Abstract:
A cantilever type rolling mill having a pair of roll shafts rotatably supported in a roll housing on a roll stand, the rolling mill including a tension member provided axially through the center of a roll shaft and having the outer end thereof projecting out of the roll shaft; a roll unit holding a ring roll between a tapered sleeve engaging with one end face and inner periphery of the ring roll and a pressing washer engaging with the other end face of the ring roll; a roll compressing tool detachably engageable with the projecting end of the tension member and incorporating a hydraulic piston-cylinder, the roll compressing tool having a nut member threadedly fitted on the circumference thereof; a plurality of crown splines formed on the outer peripheries of the nut member and pressing washer; and an extraction ring having a crown spline on the inner periphery thereof and slidably and fixably engageable with the crown splines of the nut member and pressing washer.
Abstract:
A roll device includes a roll shaft and at least one roll ring mounted on the roll shaft. A lock means is securable to the roll shaft. A centering element is disposed between the roll ring and the roll shaft to center the roll ring. A first resilient element is axially interposed between the lock means and the centering element. A second resilient element is axially interposed between the lock means and the roll ring. The lock means applies axial force to the first and second resilient elements to position the centering element relative to the roll ring and roll shaft, and clamp the roll ring to the roll shaft for common rotation therewith. The spring rates of the first resilient element can be made less than that of the second resilient element to regulate the relative amount of axial forces applied to these elements.
Abstract:
In a device for hot rolling metal wires and strip, a rolling cylinder embodying a supporting ring and a working ring mounted on the cylinder with the supporting ring having a coefficient of expansion approximating that of the working ring and a clearance between its inner periphery and its support with the working ring fitted onto the supporting ring with a clearance of not more than a few hundredths of a millimeter and means engaging the axial portions of the working ring to prevent axial displacement whereby the forces generated under operating conditions operate to apply compressive forces to the working ring.
Abstract:
A method for making a roller for hot and cold rolling by placing at least the radial inner portion of a hard metal ring in a mold cavity, heating the mold cavity and the hard metal ring and casting therearound, at least at the inner part of the radial sides of the inner ring, an annular hub of ferrous alloy. After casting, the hub and the hard metal ring are cooled, the hub shrinking more than the hard metal ring so as to exert compression forces thereagainst to hold the same in place.
Abstract:
A roller for hot and cold rolling is made by taking a hard metal ring, the cross-section of which decreases radially outwardly, and casting around the inside and at least the inner part of the radial sides thereof an annular hub of ferro alloy. After casting, the hub and the hard metal ring are cooled, the hub shrinking more than the hard metal ring so as to exert compressive forces thereagainst to hold the same in place.
Abstract:
A forming roll of hard material, such as cemented tungsten carbide, is mounted on a driving shaft. The shaft has a shoulder either integral with the shaft or in the form of a nut threaded thereon abutting one axial end of the roll while the other end of the roll is in the form of a wide angle ''''V.'''' A keying element is mounted on the shaft having a wide angle ''''V'''' configuration complementary to that of the roll, and this last mentioned element is keyed to the shaft for transmitting torque from the shaft to the roll.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a rolling mill and, more particularly, to the construction of a cantilever-supported roll having means for disconnecting the roll drive in the event of an overload in the mill.
