  • Cantilevered roll shaft bearing bracket
    Patent number: 4423612
    Abstract: Apparatus for limiting ruinous rotary deflection and bending moment of roll shafts of a cantilevered type rolling mill. The present invention is a dual bearing bracket which connects the cantilevered ends of roll shafts in bearings to maintain constant parallel rotary alignment of the roll shafts. Thus, roll shaft service life is increased by limiting roll shaft deflection and bending moment.
