Roll stand with separable roll parting adjustment module

摘要

A roll stand for a rolling mill has a housing (40a,40b) with a through opening (46). The housing rotatably supports a pair of roll shafts (52), at least one of which is journalled for rotation in the eccentric bores of interconnected sleeves (48a,48b). The roll shafts (52) carry work rolls (34) positioned in the through opening (46) to define a roll pass (A) therebetween. An adjustment mechanism (74,76,80) is axially engageable with one of the interconnected sleeves (48a) to rotate both sleeves and thereby adjust the parting between the work rolls (34). The adjustment mechanism is contained in a module (66) which is separably connected to the housing.
