Abstract: A hydrodynamic compression and/or cutting tool (1) comprises an electric motor (6), a transformation mechanism (8) suitable for transforming the rotary motion of the motor (6) into an oscillating translation motion, a two-speed hydraulic pump (11) suitable for carrying out an increase in pressure of a pressure fluid acting on an actuation piston (12) in response to the oscillating translation movement so as to move the actuation piston (12).

Abstract: An adjusting cylinder for long, rapid lifting movements in rolling stands, including vertical edging stands, wherein each adjusting cylinder has at least one piston which acts through the bearing chocks of at least one work roll or of an interposed roll to adjust a work roll on both sides, wherein each adjusting cylinder has a piston that is equipped with two oppositely directed piston rods, and each piston is inserted in a recess in the cylinder base or cylinder cover, such that the base and cover have coaxially arranged bores through which the piston rods pass. The surface formed by the piston and the piston rod is smaller than the surface formed by the piston and the piston rod.

Abstract: A rolling mill frame for the rolling of different rolled stock which requires different rolling forces and which has working rolls, back-up rolls, optionally a roll being device for the working rolls and optionally a device for adjusting and balancing the back-up rolls. The mill has pairs of adjusting cylinders between the roll stand and the chocks of the rolls which avoid large friction losses. The adjusting cylinders are each comprised of a telescoping cylinder in which a first cylinder with a large diameter for high rolling forces and a concentric cylinder with smaller diameter for smaller rolling forces are provided.
