Patent number: 9623458Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: SMS GROUP GMBHInventors: Rüdiger Grimmel, Karl Keller, Konrad Roeingh, Johannes Alken, Kurt Scheffe

Patent number: 9339857Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: SMS Group GmbHInventors: Karl Keller, Johannes Alken, Konrad Roeingh, Kurt Scheffe

Patent number: 6598448Abstract: A cooling and lubricating device for rollers of a cold rolling mill with one or more roll stands for controlling strip tensile stress of the strip across the width by changing the effective roll barrel diameter and/or the roller lubrication with a controlled supply of rolling oil or emulsions. The supply is pressure-, quantity-, and/or temperature-controlled. Several nozzle beams are provided and assigned to individual rollers, respectively. The nozzle beams are connected to side shields of the roll housing. Spray nozzles are mounted in the nozzle beams and distributed across the entire roller width. The nozzle beams are moveable independently relative to the rollers transverse to the strip running direction and in planes parallel to the strip plane. Rotary and linear drives are connected to the nozzle beams for rotating the nozzle beams about the longitudinal axis and for moving them in the longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: July 29, 2003Assignee: Achenbach Buschhütten GmbHInventors: Axel Barten, Martin Falk, Heinz Löcker, Kurt Scheffe
