Abstract
A device for transmitting a torque from a drive device (200) onto a roller in a roll stand. In order to make the device independent from the continuous external supply of lubricant, the lubricant spaces in the two pivot bearings are connected to one another in a fluidically conductive manner by way of a feed channel and a return channel for the lubricant in the region of the spindle such that a closed circuit for the lubricant is formed, and that the least one pump device is integrated in the circuit in order to maintain the circulation of the lubricant in the circuit.
Claims11
A device for transmitting a torque from a drive device to a roller in a roll stand for rolling a rolling stock, comprising:
- a spindle;
- a drive-side pivot bearing for rotatably coupling the spindle to a drive shaft of the drive device;
- a roller-side pivot bearing for rotatably coupling the spindle to a pin of the roller, whereby a lubricant chamber is formed in the roller-side pivot bearing;
- and
- at least one pump device is built in a circuit for liquid lubricant for supplying the liquid lubricant in the circuit;
- wherein in an area of the spindle is built a feed channel and a return channel for the lubricant, which are connected in a fluidically conductive manner to the lubricant chamber in the roller-side pivot bearing;
- wherein a lubricant chamber is built in the drive-side pivot bearing:,
- wherein the roller-side pivot bearing is provided with a roller-side sleeve, which is connected in a fixed manner with the pin to the roller-side pivot bearing, in which the roller-side end of the spindle is rotatably coupled to and engaged via its outer toothing by an inner toothing of the roller-side sleeve;
- wherein the lubricant chamber is sealed and delimited in the roller-side pivot bearing toward the pin of the roller by a separating wall radially extending through the interior of the roller-side sleeve, in the radial direction through the roller-side sleeve and sealed and delimited toward the drive side by a ring seal which is set on the spindle;
- and
- wherein the lubricant chambers in the roller-side and in the drive-side pivot bearing are mutually connected to each other, wherein the circuit for the lubricant is formed as a closed circuit.
