Method for fitting a roll-ring to a roll axle, and a roll-ring mount for carrying out the method

Abstract

A method for securing a roll-ring onto the end of a roll-axle, comprising prefitting a roll-ring onto a roll-ring mount, and securing the mount with the roll-ring fitted thereon, onto the end of a roll axle. Securement is effected by passing one single screw-threaded bolt axially through an opening through the roll-ring mount, and tightening the bolt into a screw-threaded recess within the end of the roll-axle. The mount has a cylindrical end part (22) on which a roll-ring (30) can be secured, and the mount has an abutment surface (24) against which a roll-ring is to be pressed. Clamping structure (27, 28) presses the roll-ring against the abutment surface, and projections and recesses (25, 29, 31, 34) non-rotatably secure the mount to an end of a roll-axle. The end of the roll-axle has a conical recess in which a conical external surface on the roll-ring mount shape-matingly fits.
