Abstract: A spindle direction engaging device moves at least one of spindles in a mutually separating direction to closely engage a lock piece or a lock portion in a spindle direction of spindles while the lock piece is locked to the lock portion when a tire is not mounted. A second spindle includes a groove extending in a peripheral direction along an outer periphery thereof in sliding contact with the lock piece; sliding surfaces of the lock piece and the groove are receiving portions formed as flat surfaces to receive separating forces acting on both the spindles. A correction device corrects a gap between an inner ring of the spindle bearing and rolling elements of the spindle bearing, or a gap between an outer ring of the spindle bearing and the rolling elements of the spindle bearing, while the spindle is rotating. Preload bolts include a coolant passage formed by hollowing a corresponding portion passing a mounting hole of a detector, and a coolant can thus be supplied to the coolant passage.

Abstract: A cantilever type rolling mill having a pair of roll shafts rotatably supported in a roll housing on a roll stand, the rolling mill including a tension member provided axially through the center of a roll shaft and having the outer end thereof projecting out of the roll shaft; a roll unit holding a ring roll between a tapered sleeve engaging with one end face and inner periphery of the ring roll and a pressing washer engaging with the other end face of the ring roll; a roll compressing tool detachably engageable with the projecting end of the tension member and incorporating a hydraulic piston-cylinder, the roll compressing tool having a nut member threadedly fitted on the circumference thereof; a plurality of crown splines formed on the outer peripheries of the nut member and pressing washer; and an extraction ring having a crown spline on the inner periphery thereof and slidably and fixably engageable with the crown splines of the nut member and pressing washer.
