  • Patent number: 6470722
    Abstract: A looper for measuring a wedge proportion of a longitudinal pull present within a strip in a longitudinal direction of the strip, wherein the wedge proportion is present across a width of the strip, has a looper shaft and pivot arms each having a first end and a second end, wherein the first ends are connected to the looper shaft. A continuous looper roll extends across the width of the strip and is supported on the second ends of the pivot arms, wherein the looper roll is adjusted relative to the strip by rotation of the looper shaft. Each pivot arm has a looper shaft arm, a looper roll arm, and a joint connecting the looper shaft arm and the looper roll arm to one another. A dynamometer is connected to each pivot arm, wherein the joints of the pivot arms deflect a return force, exerted by the strip onto the looper roll and corresponding to the longitudinal pull, onto the dynamometers, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6192765
    Abstract: A planarity measuring roller is constructed as a loop lifter which is adjustable relative to a rolled strip. The loop lifter includes a plurality of measuring zones located next to one another over the width of the rolled strip. Each measuring zone includes a rotatably mounted individual measuring roller which is pivotable in a clockwise direction and interacts with a force measuring device. Each measuring roller is mounted in a pivotable housing-like lever frame. The pivot point of each lever frame, the point of rotation of the corresponding measuring roller and a force introduction point of the force measuring device arranged underneath of the pivot point of the lever frame form an approximately isosceles triangle.

  • Patent number: 6070472
    Abstract: An arrangement for measuring the planarity of a rolled strip which is under tension in a hot strip rolling train with a roughing train and a finishing train including several roll stands and a reel. At least one measuring roller is arranged in rolling direction between the first roll stand of the finishing train and the reel, wherein the rolled strip is guided over each measuring roller, so that the measuring roller is bent as a result of the strip tension; in addition, pick-ups for measuring bending of the measuring roller are provided.

  • Patent number: 5860746
    Abstract: A sealed roll bearing of a roll which has neck sleeves of high strength, preferably shrunk onto the roll necks of the roll, wherein the flanges of a profiled sealing ring sealingly engage over the end portions of the neck sleeve facing the end faces of the roll bodies and at least over portions of the end phases of the roll bodies. The flanges of the profiled sealing rings engaging over the end faces of the roll bodies are connected to the end faces of the roll bodies and the flanges of the profiled sealing rings engaging over the end portions of the neck sleeves surround the flanges of the profiled sealing rings engaging over the end portions of the neck sleeves so as to form a narrow gap, wherein the narrow gap is sealed by means of at least one sealing device.
