Abstract
A roll for a rolling mechanism includes a carrier and a roll jacket surrounding the latter which is rotatably journalled on the carrier by bearings arranged at a distance from another. Hydrostatic and/or hydrodynamic support elements are provided between the bearing by which the roll jacket is additionally supported on the carrier. The roll jacket is furthermore braced on the carrier via at least one outer hydrostatic and/or hydrodynamic support element arranged axially outside of the zone bounded by the bearings
Claims19
Roll for a rolling mechanism, comprising:
- a carrier;
- a roll jacket surrounding the carrier and rotatably journalled on the carrier by at least two coaxial bearings, said roll jacket being driven at one end by a transmission which is received in a transmission housing and which is rotatably journalled on at least one of the roll jacket and an extension of the roll jacket, and which is also rotationally fixed relative to at least one of the carrier and the roll frame;
- at least one of an inner hydrostatic support element and an inner hydrodynamic support element by which the roll jacket is additionally supported on the carrier;
- and
- at least one device provided for force generation on at least one side of a zone bounded by the bearings and comprising at least one of an outer hydrostatic support element and an outer hydrodynamic support element arranged axially outside of the zone bounded by the bearings;
- wherein said force generation device comprises at least one outer support element supported on said carrier and which is one of axially arranged between the axially outer transmission housing and the bearing, and radially arranged between the transmission housing and the carrier.

A roll, comprising:
- a carrier;
- a roll jacket at least partially surrounding the carrier and rotatably journalled on the carrier, said roll jacket having a distal edge and a proximal edge;
- at least one bearing disposed at least partially between the carrier and roll jacket for facilitating rotational movement therebetween, said bearing being disposed in the vicinity of the proximal edge of said roll jacket;
- a transmission coupled to the roll jacket in the vicinity of the proximal edge of the roll jacket to provide rotational force to the roll jacket;
- and
- at least one outer support element disposed axially along the carrier between the bearing and the transmission.

A roll, comprising:
- a carrier;
- a roll jacket at least partially surrounding the carrier and rotatably journalled on the carrier, said roll jacket having a distal edge and a proximal edge;
- a first bearing disposed at least partially between the carrier and roll jacket for facilitating rotational movement therebetween, said bearing being disposed in the vicinity of the proximal edge of said roll jacket;
- a second bearing disposed at least partially between the carrier and roll jacket for facilitating rotational movement therebetween, said bearing being disposed away from the proximal edge of said roll jacket;
- at least one inner support element disposed along the carrier between the first bearing and the second bearing;
- a transmission, disposed in a transmission housing rotatably journalled on at least one of the roll jacket and an extension of the roll jacket, in the vicinity of the proximal edge of the roll jacket, to provide rotational force to the roll jacket, said transmission being rotationally fixed relative to the carrier;
- and
- at least one outer support element disposed axially along the carrier between the first bearing and the transmission, said outer support element supporting one of the bearings, the transmission, the extension of the roll jacket and the roll jacket.
