Abstract

In hot strip rolling apparatus a driving roll stand is located between a rolling stand for producing the hot strip and a strip take-up reel. The driving roll stand comprises a pair of rolls capable of axial floating movement during take-up of the strip on said reel. A control system provides that the pair of rolls are locked axially when the strip tension between the rolling stand and the pair of rolls ceases.
