Abstract: A roller guide for a roll stand for precise guiding of a rod-shaped or wire-shaped rolling product in a caliber opening formed by rolls which engage the rolling product from an outer side and are distributed on its periphery, the roller guide has angular levers provided with legs on which the rollers are rotatably supported, turning pins on which the angular levers are turnable and which have turning axes extending transversely to a roll axis, an adjusting bushing by which the levers are jointly turnable so as to jointly displace the rollers radially to the roll axis, a coupling rod arranged between the adjusting bushing and each of the levers, the coupling rod being hingedly engaged on a leg of the lever which faces away from the rollers, and an angle between an engaging point between the coupling rod on the lever and a rotary axis of the roller with an apex point on the turning axis of the turning pin amounting to between 80 and 92.degree..

Abstract: An arrangement for inclined rolling of tube-and bar-shaped rolling articles has two or more driven rollers rotatable about a longitudinal axis of a rolling article and supported in or on a rotor which surrounds the rolling article. The rotor is arranged in a stationary housing which is closed from all sides to provide a compact and efficient arrangement allowing an especially high rotary speed. Moreover, the arrangement with the inclined rollers rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the rolling product allow a fast exchange of the whole arrangement by a pre-assembled second arrangement so that stoppage of the whole arrangement during a roller exchange or a change in the roller adjustment is substantially reduced.
