Various types of rolls, which may be work wolls, intermediate rolls or back up rolls, are mounted in respective roll chocks disposed in a housing, and the roll chocks mounting therein any one of a pair of aforesaid rolls are slidably supported for movement axially of the rolls and in a direction in which pressure is applied to the rolls to effect rolling. The device for moving the rolls axially thereof, which may be a hydraulic pressure mechanism, is mounted in the interior of the housing or on its surfaces for moving the rolls either directly or through the associated roll chocks.
