Abstract: A mill stand has a roll housing which mounts chocks provided with cantilevered axles carrying workrolls with at least one axle being connected with a spindle geared to a drive. The spindle of at least one workroll is positioned in direct proximity with the axle which carries this workroll, on the side of its free end. Such mill stand construction makes it possible to effect rolling of difficult-to-form metals and alloys.

Abstract: A roll mill stand has a supporting frame which mounts two housings with at least three work rolls being arranged therebetween, the geometric center lines of the rolls being located in a single plane and set one with respect to another to form a pass. The work rolls are mounted each in a respective shell, the latter being hinged upon one of the housings by a pivot secured in the housing parallel to the work roll and connected to the other housing by a screw-down mechanism intended to adjust the radial gap between the work rolls. At least one of the shells is supported by the respective pivot connecting the shell to the housing, the gap between the work rolls being adjustable transversally with respect to the axis of rolling.
