Multi-translative roll assembly |
摘要 |
A roll assembly according to one example embodiment includes a rotatable input shaft having a rotational axis. At least one gear is mounted on the input shaft that rotates with the input shaft. A carrier frame is mounted on the input shaft and rotatable independent of the input shaft about the rotational axis of the input shaft. A plurality of rolls is rotatably mounted about a periphery of the carrier frame. An axial direction of rotation of each roll is transverse to the rotational axis of the input shaft. Each roll has a contact surface and a gear face that is operatively coupled to the at least one gear. |

1. A roll assembly, comprising:
a rotatable input shaft having a rotational axis; at least one gear mounted on the input shaft that rotates with the input shaft; a carrier frame mounted on the input shaft and rotatable independent of the input shaft about the rotational axis of the input shaft; and a plurality of rolls rotatably mounted about a periphery of the carrier frame, an axial direction of rotation of each roll being transverse to the rotational axis of the input shaft, each roll having a contact surface and a gear face that is operatively coupled to the at least one gear, wherein a diameter of at least a portion of the contact surface of each roll is greater than or equal to a diameter of the gear face of the roll.
