Abstract
A rotary kiln having a live ring is supported by a pair of rollers on shafts. The ends of each shaft are supported by bearings carried at the ends of a weigh beam having a rocking bearing so that the rollers can tilt to follow changes in the slope of the kiln. To allow the rollers to follow any axial movement of the live ring, upon thermal expansion or contraction of the kiln, the rocking bearing is slidable on a partly cylindrical segment.
