Abstract
The invention relates to a rolling unit having three rollers with axes arranged at 120.degree., wherein the main roller shaft derives its motion from a drive and transmits it to the shafts of the other two rollers through bevel gears. To simplify the assembly and service procedures, as well as to improve the roller adjustment facilities, the main roller is carried on a supporting body which can be removably positioned on the unit casing to allow axial adjustment of the main roller. The respective shaft engages rotatively, but in an axially slidable manner, with a coupling shaft connected to the drive. The supporting body may be attached to the casing radially, thereby it becomes possible to assemble the main shaft, together with the roller, bearings, and gears, and then secure the supporting body on the casing.
Claims3
A rolling unit for a bar or the like rolling mill comprising:
- a support casing,
- mill rollers having axes arranged at 120.degree. from one another and including a main drive roller having a shaft, supports and bearings for said rollers and seals for isolating an oil circuit from an emulsion circuit;
- said mill rollers with respective supports, and said bearings and seals being contained in said support casing;
- a body removably positionable on the unit casing and carrying the main drive roller;
- said body being removably positionable in a direction radial to said main drive roller and being adjustable on said casing, at least in the direction of the axis of said main roller;
- a coupling shaft driven by a drive and having dog clutch means on at least one end thereof;
- said shaft of said main drive roller having an end thereof with other dog clutch means for mutual rotatory engagement, but in an axially slidable way, with said dog clutch means of said coupling shaft.
