Single strand block-type rolling mill

摘要

A single strand rolling mill has successive pairs of work rolls arranged to roll rod and bar products in a twist-free manner. The work rolls are carried on roll shafts included as part of roll packages which are detachably mounted to gear housings, and the gear housings contain intermediate drive shafts and intermeshed gears connected via line shaft segments and intermeshed bevel gears to a primary mill drive. The gear housings are carried on a base which is made up of a flat vertically upstanding structural member standing on edge and joined to an underlying base plate. The structural member extends beneath and in parallel relationship to the rolling line. Rib members extend laterally away from and are spaced along opposite sides of the structural member. The rib members are joined on edge to both the structural member and the base plate and have upper support edges on which the gear housings are secured.
