  • Patent number: 9120135
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a clamping chuck for a cold pilger rolling mill, comprising clamping a sleeve and at least two clamping jaw carriers. The chucks known from the state of the art have a hollow-cylindrical guide sleeve, into which are inserted from the end clamping jaws which are pressed against the tube shell by means of a clamping sleeve which is also to be introduced from the end of the guide sleeve. In comparison with that state of the art the object of the present invention is to provide a clamping chuck for a cold pilger rolling mill, which permits easy changing of the clamping jaw carriers and thus quick and inexpensive adaptation of the cold pilger rolling mill to tubes of differing diameters and wall thicknesses.
