AXIAL PRELOADING DEVICE FOR AXIALLY ADJUSTABLE GROOVED WORK ROLLS

摘要

An axial preloading device is disclosed for use with axially adjustable grooved work rolls in a rolling mill. The work rolls are axially adjusted by a mechanism which includes relatively rotatable and reactive supporting components, and the preloading device exerts an axial force on the mechanism to eliminate mechanical backlash between the aforesaid components.
