Abstract
A rolling mill assembly includes a support shaft having a tapered section leading from an abutment to an end section. A ring-shaped roll having inboard and outboard flanks and a cylindrical bore is axially mounted on the shaft with its inboard flank seated against the abutment and with its cylindrical bore surrounding the tapered shaft section. A tapered sleeve is interposed between the tapered shaft section of and the cylindrical roll bore. A circular retainer is axially received on and rotatably fixed with respect to the end section of the shaft. A nut is threaded onto the end section of the shaft to operate via the retainer to center the roll on the shaft by tightly inserting the sleeve between the tapered shaft section and the cylindrical roll bore. Screw members are threaded though the retainer into axial engagement with the outboard flank of the roll to urge the inboard flank of the roll against the abutment.
