Abstract:
A method for joining a ring member, e.g. a bearing inner race ring, to a shaft so that the ring member is primarily prevented from axial motion relative to the shaft involves arranging the ring member over the shaft so that the shaft extends through a bore in the ring member, and applying between the ring member and the shaft a clamping wedge force in which a tapering locking surface acts against a substantially corresponding tapering surface. The device for joining the ring member to the shaft includes a locking member mounted on the ring member and provided with a tapering contact surface that faces towards the shaft. An arrangement is provided for pressing the locking element against a tapering counter surface that is fixed in position relative to the shaft to prevent axial movement of the ring member on the shaft.
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.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for installing and removing a bearing assembly (3) which consists of a chock in which a trunnion hearing is arranged on a supporting roller stud (1) of a rolling stand. The aim of said invention is to replace said assembly by means of an operationally reliable device without carrying out modifications or large-scale modifications of the supporting roller stud (1), in particular to obtain reproducible mounting forces in order to ensure best long-term wear-less service possible, best possible rotation and easily controlled stripping forces for reliable operation of the rolling stand. The invention also relates to a nut (8) fixed to the roller stud (1) prestressed against the bearing assembly (3). According to said invention, a stripping device (11) can be temporarily coupled to the bearing assembly (3), the hydraulic cylinder (15) thereof resting against the roller stud (1).
Abstract:
A roll stand for rolling bar-shaped or tubular stock, having a stand housing, having at least one roll which is arranged on a roll shaft rotatably mounted in the stand housing and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the roll shaft via a frictional connection, in which roll stand the roll is held in its axial position on the roll shaft in a positive-locking manner by sleeve elements adjoining axially with respect to the roll shaft.
Abstract:
A device for changing a roll disk arranged in a free-floating fashion on a roll shaft and braced against a shoulder of the roll shaft, the device including a roll shaft piece connectable to an end face of the roll shaft and having radially projecting claws. An installation-and-removal unit is placeable on and coaxially turnable to the roll shaft. The unit has radially extending first, second and third claws that form perimeter segments. The first claws correspond to and engage with the claws of the roll shaft piece. A taper bushing is slidably provided between the roll disk and the roll shaft to hold the roll disk on the roll shaft, and has radially extending claws. The second claws correspond to and engage with the taper bushing claws, and are also moveable axially to the roll shaft. A ring is coaxially mounted on a side of the roll disk facing the unit, and has radially extending claws that correspond to and engage behind the third claws. All the claws have a perimeter extension whereby the corresponding claws lie perimetrically next to one another in a plane seen in the axial direction when the unit is placed on the roll shaft. The unit is turnable between a first position in which the claws of the roll shaft piece and the taper bushing respectively engage with the first and second claws, and a second position in which only the claws of the ring engage with the third claws.
Abstract:
A bearing assembly for a roller of, for example, a steel rolling mill, comprises an inner bush with a conical bore to receive tightly a conical pin projecting from the roller, an outer bearing bush rotatably surrounding the inner bush but axially captive, and a holder to which the outer bush is fixed. The bearing assembly further includes a hydraulic jacking arrangement for forcing the bearing assembly over the conical pin of the roller and withdrawing it again. In one example the fluid pressure operable means is a double acting cylinder arrangement comprising an inner cylinder surrounding an extension of the roll pin and arranged to abut against a stop at the end of the extension, a collar surrounding the inner cylinder and sliding within an outer cylinder which has an external flange at its axially outer end arranged to engage a flange of a part rigid with the bearing holder. The spaces on either side of the collar between the two cylinders form pressure chambers and are closed at the axially outer ends by an L-shaped bush and at the axially inner end by a reduced diameter portion of the outer cylinder. Fluid pressure connections lead to the two pressure chambers. Two other examples are described in which separate cylinders are used for mounting and withdrawing the bearing rather than a double acting cylinder as in the first example. The various parts have discontinuous flanges in the form of a series of radially projecting lugs which can be engaged together by giving one part a part-turn relative to the other in the manner of a bayonet catch.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a device for detachably fixing or locating a part on a pin or shaft by means of a locking ring engaging with the part to be fixed or located, the locking ring resting against a support displaceable in relation to the pin or shaft and acted upon by a spring, while the support can be moved by the action of a pressure medium against the force of the spring so as to enable the locking ring to be released and in which a special actuator is provided for moving the support against the spring force.
