Patent number: 11612920Abstract: A device for adjusting an object, for example a roll in a roll stand including a rotatably mounted pressure spindle and a torque motor having a stator and a rotor for rotationally driving the pressure spindle. In addition, the device includes a fixedly arranged pressure nut, which is engaged with the pressure spindle in a rotationally coupled manner via a thread to generate an axial movement of the pressure spindle in case of its rotation. Due to the axial movement generated in this way, the device can generate an axial adjustment force and transmit it to the object to be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: SMS group GmbHInventors: Hans-Jürgen Bender, Volker Paersch

Patent number: 10987713Abstract: A horizontal roll stand includes upper and lower back-up rolls, removable work rolls, a balancing device for supporting the upper work roll, and a vertical adjustment device for the lower back-up roll. The work rolls are removed and a press device for straightening pressing of a flat metal product is inserted into the roll stand. The press device includes opposing upper and lower press frames that are displaceable relative to each other. The upper press frame and the lower press frame have one of a selectively moveable pressing die or opposing selectively moveable table with a trough for immersion of the pressing die to selectively press and flatten defects in the flat metal product. The upper press frame includes carrier elements which contact a balancing device of and for support within the roll stand. The lower press frame has support elements for being supported on stanchions of the roll stand.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: SMS GROUP GMBHInventors: Hans-Juergen Bender, Manfred Dingenotto, Peter Schmitz, Guenther Thues, Gerhard Horn, Achim Klein

Patent number: 10124380Abstract: The invention relates to a device for adjusting a roll in a roll housing 210 of a roll stand. The device comprises a motor for providing an adjusting force for the roll; a drive shaft 120 that can be actuated in a rotatory manner by the motor; and a pressure spindle for transmitting the adjusting force of the motor to the roll. In order to do away with the upstream worm gear used in the prior art, according to the invention, the motor is designed in the form of a hydro- or torque-motor, the pressure spindle 130 is provided with an axially oriented cylindrical receiving space on the motor-side end face 132, the drive shaft 120 can project into the receiving area of the pressure spindle, and the pressure spindle 130 and the drive shaft 120 are coupled to one another in a rotatory manner inside the receiving area.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: SMS Group GmbHInventor: Hans-Juergen Bender

Publication number: 20180272403Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for straightening pressing a flat metal product, as well as a roll stand (300) comprising said device (100). Known straightening presses typically comprise an upper press frame having a pressing die and a lower press frame having a table for supporting the flat product to be straightened, wherein the upper press frame is arranged opposite the lower press frame and both press frames can be moved vertically with respect to one another. The problem addressed by the invention is that of providing a device (100) for straightening pressing a flat metal product, a roll stand (300) comprising said device (100) and a method for operating a roll stand (300) of this type, which enable economically efficient straightening of flat products. This problem is solved in relation to the device (100) through the subject matter of claim 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2016Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventors: Hans-Juergen Bender, Manfred Dingenotto, Peter Schmitz, Guenther Thues, Gerhard Horn, Achim Klein
