Abstract:
The present application relates to a vibration damping system for a rolling mill comprising a rolling cage and a bending adjustment system (3,3') of the rollers comprising hydraulic actuators acting on the rollers and hydraulic circuits (18, 19) for feeding, and hydraulic damping means (25, 31, 32) of a force connected to the hydraulic circuits (18, 19) for actuating a damping effect by means of the hydraulic actuators. The hydraulic damping means comprises a pair of hydraulic pumps (25B, 25C) or a pair of hydraulic cylinders with a dual chamber, connected in an opposite direction to each other to the hydraulic circuits (18, 19).
Abstract:
A drop feeder (1) for feeding molten metal into an ingot mould (15) comprises a distributor (3) having a substantially prismatic shape, with one of the faces open, in which the inside of the distributor comprises three tanks (4, 5, 6), separated by walls (7, 8) functioning as weir for the molten melt poured into the intermediate tank (5). There are provided slots (10) arranged on the faces of the distributor (3) for emptying of the molten metal from the distributor into the ingot mould or into a second distributor.
Abstract:
Oscillating table in which the oscillation drive, comprising a hydraulic actuator, transmits the oscillating motion to the mould via a spring subject to bending stress, for example a fitted rod. The body of the hydraulic actuator is also anchored to the floor by means of a fitted spring subjected to bending stress. Thus thanks to the absence of any mechanical bearings in the drive mechanism, all disadvantageous movements caused as a result of bearing play, which increases at high oscillation frequencies, are eliminated. Moreover, the use of mould guide elements having a much simpler design and consisting of straightforward bars, also ensures greater guidance precision and enables a reduction in the oscillation marks on the cast product, a reduction that is even more noticeable when working at higher oscillation frequencies. Advantageously, the presence of an anti-roll device, consisting of two or more pairs of bars, for example two pairs, ensures good torsional rigidity of the table.
Abstract:
Coiling device ("R") and relative method for a windable long, metal product (10). The device ("R") comprises a mandrel (12) having a substantially circular transverse section and rotating around a horizontal, vertical or inclined axis, and at least a guide and containing device (15, 16) which is driven between a first working position wherein it cooperates with the mandrel (12), and a second inactive position wherein it is arranged distant from the mandrel (12). The coiling device ("R") also comprises at least a clamping device (21) associated with the mandrel (12), which clamps at least temporarily an initial segment of the metal product (10).
Abstract:
Support bearing for a roll (33) for immersion in liquid metal, comprising an internal rotating bush (31) fitted coaxially on a pin (32) at the end of the roll (33), and rotating inside an external bush (34) fixed to a supporting arm (37) of the roll (33). The first bush (31) is provided with an axial helical groove (39) on its outer surface and the second bush (34) is provided with a toroidal-shaped convex outer surface to allow rotation without friction inside the cylindrical ring of the supporting arm (37).

Abstract:
Support device for an assembly (14) of the casting rolls (11, 11') of a continuous metallic strip casting line comprising a movable support at each axial end. Such supports (17, 17', 19, 19') are provided with a hydraulic bearing (13) to reduce friction during motion with respect to the assembly. Between the movable supports of one of the rolls (11) and the assembly is located a hydraulic actuator (18), which thrusts the first roll (11') towards the second roll (11') against a stop (16). Between the second roll (11') and the assembly there are located magnetostrictive actuators which thrust the second roll (11') against the first roll (11). The device has a joint provided with a housing (22) inside which a telescopic tube (21) for the supply of the cooling water to conduits present in the rolls may slide. The housing (22) is connected to the assembly (14) by means of a bellows (27) allowing for oscillation.
Abstract:
