COLD PILGER MILL WITH A RECIPROCABLE ROLLING STAND

摘要

A cold pilger rolling mill includes a reciprocating roll stand and a crank drive connected to the roll stand through connecting rods. The crank drive includes three shafts arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart at equal distances. The middle shaft is a crank shaft connected through crank pins with the connecting rod. A main weight for balancing half of the inertia forces of the roll stand is arranged eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation on the crank of the crank pin offset by 180 DEG from the pivot point of the connecting rod. On the two other shafts are arranged two additional weights of equal size which balance the other half of the inertia forces of the roll stand. For a synchronous rotation of the shafts and their weights, the shafts are connected by spur gears meshing with each other in such a manner that the additional weights rotate in opposite directions to the main weight with the same rate of rotation and, at the dead centers of the roll stand, the sum of the main weight and the additional weights acting on the roll stand corresponds to the inertia forces of the roll stand and of any other weights moved with the roll stand.
