Rolling facility with linear bearing plate for rolling mill

摘要

A linear plate (18) of a bearing assembly for a rolling facility, said linear plate (18) comprising a plate attached to a housing (16) of a mill stand (10) and having a bearing surface which engages a movable bearing surface during operation. A plurality of lubrication conduits (108) is defined by a groove on a surface of the plate and by a surface of the housing (16) of the mill stand (10). The conduits (108) provide fluid communication between at least one outlet port (60) to the bearing surface and at least one lubricant inlet port (103), whereby pressurized lubricant is expelled out of the at least one outlet port (60) to provide lubrication between the bearing surface and the movable surface during a rolling campaign. The plate is secured to the surface of the housing (16) of the mill stand (10) via a plurality of threaded fasteners passing through apertures of the plate.
