  • Patent number: 7836581
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for installing and removing a bearing assembly (3) which consists of a chock in which a trunnion hearing is arranged on a supporting roller stud (1) of a rolling stand. The aim of said invention is to replace said assembly by means of an operationally reliable device without carrying out modifications or large-scale modifications of the supporting roller stud (1), in particular to obtain reproducible mounting forces in order to ensure best long-term wear-less service possible, best possible rotation and easily controlled stripping forces for reliable operation of the rolling stand. The invention also relates to a nut (8) fixed to the roller stud (1) prestressed against the bearing assembly (3). According to said invention, a stripping device (11) can be temporarily coupled to the bearing assembly (3), the hydraulic cylinder (15) thereof resting against the roller stud (1).

  • Publication number: 20100125992
    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).

  • Patent number: 7396021
    Abstract: A roll stub is rotatable relative to a stationary support and has a rotatable support fixed to the roll stub, an annular and radially directed seal surface fixed on one of the supports, and a seal ring on the other of the supports having a lip engageable with the seal surface. A support element that is substantially less stiff than the seal ring is provided between the other support and the seal ring for biasing the lip against the seal surface while permitting of the seal ring relative to the other support. A clamp body rotationally fixed to the other support directly engages the seal ring and presses the seal ring directly against an abutment. Interengaging tooth formations on the clamp body and on the seal ring arrest the seal ring on the other support against angular movement thereon while permitting relative radial movement.

  • Patent number: 6866270
    Abstract: A C-section ring fixed on a steel-mill roll and coaxially surrounding its stub has inner and outer axially extending legs defining an axially open cavity. The inner leg is tapered away from the roll and is formed adjacent the free end with a radially outwardly open annular groove. An annular cover part fixed on a stationary support, engaged in the cavity, forming a drain compartment open axially away from the roll, and formed with a radially outwardly open catchment groove radially aligned with a free end of the inner leg is also formed with a passage extending from the catchment groove to the drain compartment. An annular extension on the cover part has an inner surface carrying a seal ring that bears radially inward on the stub. An add-on part on the extension forms with the extension, with the cover part, and with the C-section ring a labyrinth.

  • Publication number: 20040080116
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing device for roll bearings in which a sealing element (9, 10) that interacts with a sealing surface is assigned to the rollpin (2). The aim of the invention is to improve a sealing device of this type so that a radial offset in the roll bearing results without significantly subjecting the sealing lip of the sealing element to stress. To this end, the sealing element is supported on the fixing device (8) thereof by means of an elastic supporting element (13), whereby the elastic supporting element has a rigidity less than that of the sealing lip (14, 15) of the sealing element.
