  • Patent number: 9623458
    Abstract: An installation piece for supporting a roller in a roller stand of a roller frame. The installation piece includes a main bore for receiving a journal of the roller, an inlet for a lubricant, an outlet for the lubricant, and a pump device for pumping the lubricant leaving the installation piece through the outlet. The pump device has a housing, an inlet channel, and an outlet channel. The inlet channel communicates with the inlet and the outlet channel communicates with the outlet for the flow of the lubricant. The pump device is driven by the flow of the lubricant in the inlet. The housing of the pump device is equipped with a screw pump and a turbine, which is driven by the pressurized inflowing lubricant, in the inlet channel for driving the screw pump.

  • Patent number: 9421590
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing device for installation in a roll arrangement between the roll journals of a roll and chock. The sealing device has an annular main body having sealing rims that extend radially outwards. Furthermore, the sealing device has an annular reinforcement element having a strip-like section which coaxially surrounds the main body on the outer side thereof. In order to ensure the dimensional stability and thus also the function of the sealing device even after the installation thereof in the roll arrangement, that is to say after said sealing device has been pushed onto the frustroconical roll journals, the reinforcement element according to the invention has, in addition to the coaxial strip-like section, at least one flange which is connected thereto and is connected to the sealing rim. Furthermore, the invention relates to said roll arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9339857
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roll arrangement for use in metallurgical technology, comprising a roll that has a roll barrel and two roll necks, and at least one neck bushing for accommodating at least one of the roll necks in a rotationally fixed manner. A carrier element that functions as a form-locking rotationally fixed connection is arranged between the roll neck and the neck bushing. In order to increase the load-bearing capacity of the roll bearing without increasing the size of or the mounting space for the roll bearing and at the same time ensure easy assembly, the roll neck is mounted in the neck bushing with some radial play such that a circumferential cavity is formed between the neck bushing and the roll neck in the unloaded stated as a result of the radial play. In order to increase the size of the cavity, the roll neck or the inner surface of the neck bushing additionally has a concave contour or profile.

  • Patent number: 8037585
    Abstract: A device for dismounting the neck bush (4), the bearing bush (5), and the chock (6) from the conically constructed region of the roll neck (2) of a roll (1), where a pressure shoulder ring (8), which is supported on the end face of the neck bush (4), is installed on a roll neck shoulder (3) of the roll (1), is to be improved in such a way that it can be built very short and that it can carry out the dismounting movement with very small pressures of a pressure medium. To this end, it is proposed that a gap (11) be provided between the pressure shoulder ring (8) and the end face (7) of the roll neck (2), that the pressure shoulder ring (8) be coupled with the neck bush (4), and that at least one pressure medium for removing the neck bush (4) and the chock (6) be provided in the gap (11).
