A rolling mill for rectifying or avoiding undesirable shape in rolled products comprises flexible upper and lower work rolls, each work roll being backed either directly or through an intermediate roll by a single row of axially short backing rolls, each of which is carried in a carrier pivoted to a rigid member of the mill frame, the pivots of all the carriers associated with each work roll being aligned with one another, said mill including means for applying a substantially constant loading force to each of said carriers, the work rolls also being contacted by reaction rolls which contact the work rolls in such a manner that the reaction is substantially parallel with the plane of the strip pass between the work rolls to absorb the loads which arise in at least one direction parallel to the strip during rolling. |
