Abstract

The rolls of a rolling mill, especially the working rolls, are horizontally shifted by a compact adjusting device, with use being made, as required, of guide pieces. The device is readily arranged in cylinder blocks, and the movements of the device can be easily monitored, transmitted, and set. The predetermined motions are carried out in rigidly controlled manner and no elastic yielding is allowed because of pressure plates extending in the windows of the base frame members. The pressure plates can be horizontally aligned and they cooperate with the holding elements which are to be shifted. The pressure plates are supported by wedges which can be shifted horizontally and transversely with respect to the plane of the frame, by way of pressure posts which operatively engage the pressure plates.
