Abstract
A rolling line for the stretch-reducing of tubes, has a plurality of rolling stands which are arranged closely one after the other. These rolling stands are driven by a group drive, whereby the rolling stands, or at least a part thereof, are divided into groups, the groups being defined between directly acting drive shafts (111). The stand locations lying between these drive shafts (111) are driven by way of differential gear stages (112), each combining two rotational speeds which are derived by way of gear wheel trains (113-116, 117-120) from the drive shafts (111).
Claims3
A rolling line for stretchreducing of tubes, said rolling line having a plurality of rolling stands which are arranged closely one after the other, said rolling stands having roll sets, drive means connected to said roll sets to drive said roll sets, said drive means for some of said roll sets comprising one independently controlled motor only for each such roll set directly connected to each such roll set by respective drive shafts, said drive means for other of said roll sets located between two of said directly connected roll sets comprising two gear trains from the drive shafts of such two directly driven stands and a single respective planetary gear stage combining the rotational speeds of the two motors of said two directly controlled roll sets, whereby said two motors drive a group of roll sets formed by said other roll sets disposed between the directly connected roll sets.
