Abstract

The present invention relates to a vertical roller mill including a grinding roller which is urged against a grinding path on a grinding table by a hydraulic cylinder. The loading on the roller is measured by a transducer and the acceleration of the roller by an accelerometer. Resulting signals are combined at a controller which controls a valve through which hydraulic fluid is supplied to the hydraulic cylinder, so that the loading is compensated for the influence of the instantaneous velocity and acceleration of the roller.
