Abstract
A drive for a pilger cold rolling mill which includes a crankshaft and a connecting rod. The connecting rod provides a balancing or equilibrium of moments while the crankshaft provides a balancing or equilibrium of mass.
Claims16
Apparatus for driving a pilger cold rolling machine along a path of travel, said apparatus comprising:
- crankshaft means for supplying mechanical power to drive the pilger cold rolling machine along the path of travel;
- said crankshaft means being rotatably mounted on a first rotational axis;
- connecting rod means for driving the pilger cold rolling machine along the path of travel;
- said connecting rod means being rotatably mounted on a second rotational axis;
- said connecting rod means receiving mechanical power from, being connected to and being driven by said crankshaft means;
- said connecting rod means having attachment means for connecting said connecting rod means to the pilger cold rolling machine;
- guide means for guiding said attachment means and the pilger cold rolling machine along the path of travel when said connecting rod means is driven by said crankshaft means;
- said connecting rod means being configured to provide a balancing of moment forces to the pilger cold rolling machine;
- said connecting rod means being configured to provide a balancing of the moment of inertia of said connecting rod means and the pilger cold rolling machine;
- and
- said crankshaft means being configured to provide a balancing of mass the pilger cold rolling machine.
