Abstract

An apparatus for rotating multiply-mounted shafting, comprising a rotational device for the continuous rotation of the shafting at a first rotational speed and an auxiliary rotational device for the continuous or intermittent rotation of the shafting at a second rotational speed which is lower in relation to the first rotational speed. There is provided at least one lifting device having an engaged part arranged at the shafting. Also there is provided an engagement member acting upon the engaged part for lifting the shafting and a drive mechanism which produces the requisite engaging force in order to move the engaged part.
