Estimating the term…
Adjustable width rolls are preferably used for rolling, for example, insides of H-beams of various sizes without exchanging horizontal rolls of a rolling mill. Each of the adjustable width rolls includes a roll shaft rotatably and axially movably supported relative to the rolling mill, and axially adjustable sleeve roll fixed to the roll shaft, and an axially stationary sleeve roll mounted on the roll shaft to be axially slidable but against rotatable relatively to the roll shaft. The adjustable width roll further includes an axially adjustable roll fixedly supported by the axially adjustable sleeve roll to form substantially one half of a rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll, an axially stationary roll fixedly supported by the axially stationary sleeve roll to form substantially the remaining half of the rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll, and a driving mechanism for driving the roll shaft in axial directions of the roll shaft.
Adjustable width rolls for a rolling mill for producing H-beams, wherein each of the adjustable rolls comprises a roll shaft rotatable and axially movably supported relative to the rolling mill to form an axle member of the adjustable width roll, an axially adjustable sleeve roll fixed to the roll shaft, an axially stationary sleeve roll having said roll shaft axially and slidably passing through an axially centered opening in said axially stationary sleeve roll, said axially stationary sleeve roll and said roll shaft being rotatably joined, said axially stationary sleeve roll being non-adjustable in an axial direction, an axially adjustable work roll fixedly supported by the axially adjustable sleeve roll to form substantially one half of a rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll and arranged to engage portions of said H-beams, an axially stationary work roll fixedly supported by the axially stationary sleeve roll to form substantially the remaining half of the rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll and arranged to engage other portions of said H-beams, and driving means for driving said roll shaft in at least one axial direction thereof.
Adjustable width rolls for a rolling mill, wherein each of the adjustable rolls comprises a roll shaft rotatable and axially movably supported relative to the rolling mill to form an axle member of the adjustable width roll, an axially adjustable sleeve roll fixed to the roll shaft, an axially stationary sleeve roll having said roll shaft axially and slidably passing through an axially centered opening in said axially stationary sleeve roll, said axially stationary roll and said roll shaft being rotatably joined, said axially stationary sleeve roll being non-adjustable in an axial direction, an axially adjustable roll fixedly supported by the axially adjustable sleeve roll to form substantially one half of a rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll, an axially stationary roll fixedly supported by the axially stationary sleeve roll to form substantially the remaining half of the rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll, and driving means for driving said roll shaft in at least one axial direction thereof, said driving means comprises a screw rod coaxially connected to said roll shaft, a nut threadedly engaged with the screw rod, and a motor for rotatively driving the nut.
Adjustable width rolls for a rolling mill, wherein each of the adjustable rolls comprises a roll shaft rotatable and axially movably supported relative to the rolling mill to form an axle member of the adjustable width roll, an axially adjustable sleeve roll fixed to the roll shaft, an axially stationary sleeve roll having said roll shaft axially and slidably passing through an axially centered opening in said axially stationary sleeve roll, said axially stationary roll and said roll shaft being rotatably joined, said axially stationary sleeve roll being non-adjustable in an axial direction, an axially adjustable roll fixedly supported by the axially adjustable sleeve roll to form substantially one half of a rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll, an axially stationary roll fixedly supported by the axially stationary sleeve roll to form substantially the remaining half of the rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll, and driving means for driving said roll shaft in at least one axial direction thereof, and further comprising a hydraulic chamber means between said roll shaft and said axially stationary sleeve roll for preventing axial wobbling and elastic deformation of said roll shaft and said axially stationary sleeve roll.
Adjustable width rolls for a rolling mill, wherein each of the adjustable rolls comprises a roll shaft rotatable and axially movably supported relative to the rolling mill to form an axle member of the adjustable width roll, an axially adjustable sleeve roll fixed to the roll shaft, an axially stationary sleeve roll having said roll shaft axially and slidably passing through an axially centered opening in said axially stationary sleeve roll, said axially stationary roll and said roll shaft being rotatably joined, said axially stationary sleeve roll being non-adjustable in an axial direction, an axially adjustable roll fixedly supported by the axially adjustable sleeve roll to form substantially one half of a rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll, an axially stationary roll fixedly supported by the axially stationary sleeve roll to form substantially the remaining half of the rolling barrel of the adjustable width roll, and driving means for driving said roll shaft in at least one axial direction thereof, said driving means comprising a motor for axially driving said roll shaft, a nut arranged to be rotatively driven by the motor, a slide block threadedly engaged with the nut and axially moved when the nut is rotated by the motor, an arbor engaging said slide block and said roll shaft so that the roll shaft is moved in one axial direction when the slide block is axially moved, and a hydraulic chamber between the roll shaft and the axially stationary sleeve roll, and a sleeve connected to the roll shaft to form one wall of the hydraulic chamber, thereby causing the roll shaft to move in an axial direction opposite to said one axial direction when hydraulic pressure is applied to the hydraulic chamber.
