CONJUNTO DE MANCAIS E BASTIDOR DE LAMINACAO

摘要

In a rolling mill roll stand, a bearing arrangement for a rotatable element such as for example a roll shaft carrying an overhung work roll, or a straddle mounted roll. The bearing arrangement includes first and second bearing assemblies supporting the rotatable element at spaced locations along the length thereof. At least one of the bearing assemblies includes separate tandem bearings mounted on a carrier member. The tandem bearings are capable of self adjusting movement relative to the carrier member in response to changes in the slope of the rotatable element occasioned by rolling loads and the carrier member is also capable of self adjusting movement in response to deflection of the rotatable element.
