US 12,409,482 B2 · Torque support for absorbing drive torques and roller arrangement with a torque support

Abstract

A torque support for absorbing drive torques of at least one shaft drive, having two first force-conducting elements, each of which is rotatably fixed to the shaft drive at a distance from one another by a first end, and having a support element arranged at a distance from the shaft drive, to which support element the first force-conducting elements are each fixed rotatably and at a distance from one another by a second end opposite the first end, and spaced apart from one another, and having two second force-conducting elements which are each fixed at a first end to the support element in a rotatable manner and spaced apart from one another and are each fixed at a second end, opposite the first in each case, to a fixed element which is independent of the shaft drive in a rotatable manner and spaced apart from one another. A corresponding roller arrangement is further disclosed.

A machine, comprising:

a frame;
a set of four or more horizontally aligned rolls within the frame turned by corresponding drives, a first and third roll rotating in a first direction by corresponding first and third drives, and a second and fourth roll rotating in a second, opposite direction by corresponding second and fourth drives;
a torque support system, comprising a torque support element associated with each of the horizontally aligned rolls, a particular one of the torque support elements comprising:
a support element;
a first force-conducting element connected to one of the drives and the support element;
a second force-conducting element connected to that drive and the support element in parallel to the first force-conducting element;
a third force-conducting element connected to the support element and the frame;
a fourth force-conducting element connected to the support element and the frame in parallel to the third force-conducting element.
