Abstract: A roll stand arrangement for a single wire rolling mill train, and including arranged along a main pitch line, a multi-stand finishing block, a multi-stand post finishing block located downstream of the finishing block, and a pitch line change-over unit arranged between the finishing block and the post finishing block for advancing a wire strand from the finishing block to the post finishing block directly or through a looping pitch line in which there are provided a cooling zone, a wire looper, and a looping table.

Abstract: A rolling mill stand for rolling wire and including a frame, at least one chock mounted in the frame and having a roll-side bearing and a thrust bearing, a roll support shaft supported in the roll-side bearing and the thrust bearing and projecting outwardly past the roll-side bearing so that a roll can be mounted on a projecting portion of the support shaft, and a hydraulic cylinder unit for adjusting the roll support shaft relative to a further roll support shaft supported in the frame in an adjusting direction and having a cylinder connected with the frame and a piston connected with the chock.

Abstract: A fine steel or wire train with a multiple-stand roughing train, a multiple-stand intermediate train and a finishing block composed of six or eight or ten roll stands with a common drive, wherein at least the two last roll stands of the finishing block are each provided with an individual drive unit and the drive shafts of the last two roll stands which can be uncoupled intersect the principal drive shafts of the coupled stands.

Abstract: A rolling apparatus has a frame and a first eccentric journal sleeve mounted on the frame, defining a first axis, and having axially inner and outer ends. A first shaft journaled in the sleeve has respective inner and outer ends at the first-sleeve inner and outer ends. The first-shaft outer end projects axially from the frame and carries a workpiece-deforming first roller. A rocker is displaceable transversely of the axis on the frame and carries a second eccentric journal sleeve defining a second axis generally parallel to the first axis and having axially inner and outer ends. A second shaft journaled in the second sleeve has respective inner and outer ends at the second-sleeve inner and outer ends. The second-shaft outer end also projects axially from the frame and carries a workpiece deforming second roller forming with the first roller a workpiece-receiving nip.

Abstract: A block-type roll stand arrangement for single strand rolling including roll stand housings mounted on a support structure. The roll stand housings are all of the same construction and each receives a pair of roll support shafts and the drive gear units therefor. The roll stand housings are arranged one behind the other with the roll support shafts being alternatingly inclined at an angle relative to the rolling line. Stiffening ribs are arranged between the plate support members. The stiffening ribs are connected to the side surfaces of the plate support members and to the base plate. The stiffening ribs may be composed of angle sections with a symmetrical angle cross-section, wherein the parallel outer edges of the angle sections rest on the base plate and whose angle-shaped front and rear side edges rest against the side surfaces of the plate support members.

Abstract: A wire roll stand with roll rings mounted in a cantilevered manner onto roll shafts, wherein the roll rings can be axially clamped through spacer rings against an end of the respective roll shaft. The roll shafts are adjustable by eccentric bushings mounted in a housing and the eccentric bushings as well as the roll shafts are sealed relative to walls of the housings. The housing wall through which the roll shafts extend is equipped with openings which take into consideration the adjusting range of the roll shafts, wherein the openings are fixedly lined with sealing rings having a U-shaped profile. The spacer rings have a U-shaped profile and are composed of at least two parts with separating surfaces thereof extending within the profile yokes, wherein the sides of the spacer rings rest on the sides of the sealing rings within the adjusting range.
