Split ring and method of using improved split ring to assemble a roll |
摘要 |
A split ring for use in assembling a bearing retainer onto a roll. The split ring helps keep a mounting jack in compression with the bearing retainer as the mounting jack compresses the bearing retainer onto the roll. In some embodiments, the split ring includes a plurality of apertures that are each configured to receive a drive mechanism that helps collapse the mounting jack to allow for removal of the split ring and the mounting jack once the bearing retainer is assembled onto the roll. |

1. A method of assembling a roll having a shaft, the method comprising:
positioning a mounting jack on the shaft of the roll; positioning a split ring adjacent the mounting jack on the shaft of the roll, wherein the split ring comprises at least a first aperture and a second aperture; positioning a first split ring drive mechanism through the first aperture in the split ring; positioning a second split ring drive mechanism through the second aperture in the split ring; activating the first and second split ring drive mechanisms so that the first and second split ring drive mechanisms collapse the mounting jack away from the split ring, wherein activating the first and second split ring drive mechanisms comprises activating a pump to pressurize the first and second split ring drive mechanisms; and removing the split ring from the shaft of the roll. |
