Abstract: Disclosed is a support roll (1) for a rolling mill, such as a plate rolling mill, flat rolling mill, or similar, comprising a jacket (2) and a roll shaft (3) which is embodied in several parts. The invention also relates to a method for producing a support roll (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for clamping a blade (10) of a pair of shears, used in the transversal cutting of strips, in particular a pair of shears for transversally cutting rolled strips and/or cropping shears. Said device comprises a piston (3), a piston rod (4), a compression spring (5), a cover (6), a fixing device (7) and a clamping bar (8), a second piston (16) being positioned at a distance from the first piston (3).

Abstract: Disclosed is a roll stand for edgers in rolling mills. Said roll stand is embodied in several pieces, comprising two crossheads (1a, 1b) and four longitudinal bars (4a, 4b) as main components (1) as well as one respective common cruciform (7) junction point (3) for the crosshead (1a, 1b) and the longitudinal bars (4a, 4b), which is located at the ends (6) of the longitudinal bars. Pretensioned through bolts (5) that act as a joint are used at least at the top ends (6) of the longitudinal bars.

Abstract: A method of operating a flying shear for cutting a rolled strip, which includes at least one drum provided with a blade, includes synchronizing a peripheral speed of the blade with a feed rate of the rolled strip, and cutting the rolled strip by effecting a partial penetration of the blade in the rolled strip to produce a weakened location of the rolled strip, and by tearing the rolled strip at the weakened location by a tensile force.

Abstract: A high-speed shear with a knife, particularly a chisel-type knife with a knife edge, arranged on at least one of two oppositely arranged drums, wherein the knife can be accelerated to the feeding speed of the rolled strip and the drums can be adjusted relative to each other for carrying out a cut. At least one drive unit provided for the drums serves to accelerate the drums to the speed of the rolled strip to be cut and at least one of the drums may be provided with a separately controllable adjusting device. The chisel-type knife of the knife drum is mounted so as to protrude from the cutting circle towards the anvil or the surface portion of the second drum acting as an anvil and to mount the chisel-type knife of the knife drum so as to be resiliently supported against a predetermined restoring force.

Abstract: A roll stand with work rolls supported by a back-up roll either directly or through an intermediate roll, particularly work rolls which are axially displaceable in opposite directions, wherein at least one of the rolls of the roll stand is constructed with varying resilience over the length thereof, particularly with a greater flattening behavior in at least a portion thereof. For this purpose, at least one of the rolls has in the area between the roll neck and the outer surface of the roll at least one notch extending concentrically about the axis.
